Learn more about a career as a Navy Nuclear Submarine Officer!

– Tom Clancy, Author of The Hunt for Red October

December 29, 2008 – The late Captain Peter Huchthausen, U.S. Navy (retired), had a distinguished career as a Soviet naval analyst, and as a naval attaché in Yugoslavia, Romania, and the Soviet Union. The author of three previous books set during the Cold War, his knowledge of naval espionage remains unsurpassed, as he demonstrates yet again in HIDE AND SEEK (Wiley, $30.00; January 2009). Co-authored with Alexandre Sheldon-Duplaix, HIDE AND SEEK offers an unprecedented account of the war from both sides – East and West – and uncovers stunning new information, including the astounding truth about the 1964 Tonkin Gulf affair.

HIDE AND SEEK tells the full story of the development of Cold War naval intelligence from the end of WWII to the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Based on primary sources, many of which are unique, the authors uncover startling new information, including:

• How the Nazi inventor of the first cruise missile used in WWII became the father of the U.S.Navy missile system
• How a Soviet naval intelligence officer played a major role in bringing down the British government in the Profumo Affair
• New details on the Baltic mutiny that inspired The Hunt for Red October

The abundance of source material provides the details for riveting, hair-raising, and at times hilarious tales of action on both sides of the Iron Curtain.

Peter Huchthausen’s writing career started when he retired from the Navy, and he wrote numerous books, including the bestselling Hostile Waters (St. Martin’s, 1998), October Fury (Wiley, 2002), and Shadow Voyage (Wiley, 2005). He passed away in July 2008.

Alexandre Sheldon-Duplaix serves in the French Joint Historical Services in Vincennes France, and as a researcher and lecturer on the history of the Soviet Navy at the Defense Staff College in Paris. He has written two books published in France on naval subjects. He lives in Paris.
