At any given time, any number of the Royal Navy''s 15 nuclear
submarines lurk undetected in the world''s oceans. Totally
self-sufficient for months at a time, they lie in readiness to be
deployed to listen, intercept, or attack wherever they may be
needed. And should the UK be devastated by a nuclear strike, they
might just be the last military force standing. Award-winning
journalist Danny Danziger has been allowed unprecedented access to
one of the attack class submarines of the ''silent service'', joining
the crew on operations for weeks on end, living among them and
hearing their stories. Unrestricted and uncompromising, it paints a
vivid picture of this enigmatic branch of our armed forces. In an
increasingly unstable world, these are the people who are in the
best position to keep us safe. It is time for the silent service to
be heard.
