This is the definitive history of the Russian submarine program since WWII.

Submarines emerged as a particularly terrifying weapon after WWII, in no small part through the application of nuclear propulsion and the development of shipborne nuclear missiles. The Soviet Union invested huge funding into a world-class submarine program, producing innovative designs in imposing numbers.

Norman Polmar is a best-selling author and recognized authority on the topic. His earlier works on Russian and Soviet subs earned plaudits from high-ranking officers in both the US and Russian navies. This new volume, based on those earlier works, provides readers with the authoritative English-language history of the postwar submarine force of the USSR and Russian Federation. It includes more than 100 photographs and line drawings.
