In the worst peacetime disaster experienced by the Russian Navy, on 12 August 2000 the state-of-the-art nuclear-powered Kursk submarine sank with a loss of 118 officers and crew. How did it happen?

The author had unique access to intelligence in all three countries, and also the relatives of the victims.
