Silent War: Battles Beneath The Sea

The story of the underwater war between U.S., UK and Soviet submarines in the second half of the 20th century., As the public face of the Cold War played out in the Kremlin and the State Department, a much hotter deadly chess game of nuclear brinksmanship was going on miles beneath the sea. This BBC-produced, two-part historical expose of submarine warfare between the US, the UK and the USSR uses archival footage and first-person accounts of what life was like in those claustrophobic battleships, and how close we all came to nuclear Armageddon.
