Red Star Rogue by Richmond C Sewell K
One of the great secrets of the Cold War, hidden for decades, is revealed at last. Early in 1968, a nuclear-armed Soviet submarine sank in the waters off Hawaii, hundreds of miles closer to American shores than it should have been. Compelling evidence strongly suggests that the sub sank while attempting to fire a nuclear missile. We now know that the Soviets had lost track of the sub; it had become a rogue. The Nixon administration launched a clandestine, half-billion-dollar project to recover the sunken K-129. The successful recovery effort helped forge new relations between the US and the Soviets, even as it revealed a treacherous plan to provoke war between the US and China--a plan that, had it succeeded, would have had devastating consequences.Clint Richmond's tenth nonfiction book, The Murder of Penny Scaggs and the Trial of her Husband, Roger, is about the murder of Penny Scaggs and the prosecution of her husband, Roger. His Selena from 1995! Red Star Rogue, his 2005 collaboration, was also a New York Times bestseller. Richmond, a former news reporter for the Dallas Times Herald, covered President John F. Kennedy's assassination. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the trial of Jack Ruby for the assassination of suspected assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

Later, as a freelance journalist, he covered the Rocky Mountain and West Coast regions for publications such as People magazine and contributed to Time, Newsweek, and a variety of other publications. In Austin, Texas, the author lives with his wife, who is also a freelance writer.
