Loss of the U.S.S. "Thresher": Hearings Before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy Congress of the United States Eight-Eighth Congress First and Sec Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read this within a month or so of reading On The Bottom by Edward Ellsberg. That heroic rescue of 50 years earlier was so similar to the total disaster of the Thresher. I would highly recommend reading both books, for a comparison of submarine rescues fifty years apart.

This is a 192-page report on the 1963 hearings before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy concerning the tragic loss of the USS Thresher, a US Navy nuclear submarine, and the lives of all 129 crewmembers on board. The book begins with a list of the deceased and then presents the text of the actual hearings (minus certain classified information) in the next 75 pages. Then there are 17 appendixes relating to various correspondences about the tragedy, texts of other presentations, eulogies, etc. and various data about the Thresher.
