Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - A Disappointment
This book, although it has its fair share of interesting pictures, is quite unimpressive. Was it actually more than advertised I would say run the other way, save your money for a better book. The editing is some of the worst I've seen, and the book is very poorly organized, with grainy pictures and (very) poor diagrams scattered about in hodgepodge fashion. If you're looking for an authoritative account of Soviet Submarines in the Cold War, you're better off looking elsewhere. Unfortunately, as far as I know, when it comes to pictures and diagrams of these Cold War legends, there are few other comparative books out there...

Ultimately, I expected far more of this book, which for the most part proved disappointing. Again, its only saving grace is the fact that some of the pictures found within I doubt have ever been published in the West before.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Interesting but still needs polish
This is a very interesting book; especially for anyone who was involved in hunting subs in the Cold War. Old and sometimes grainy pics.
Misspelled words (most likely due to translation) but the book made me remember some of my favorite times in the Navy when I studied our old adversary. Not great but I would buy it again.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Nice book, but not excessively outstanding.
"Soviet and Russian Nuclear Submarines by Wilfried Kopenhagen" is quite an entertaining reading with many awfully nice pictures, some could even be described as rare. However one cannot help but feel it is lacking in many respects. For one thing it looks almost like the text is machine translated from German, with many untranslated German words. For another the book is rather badly organized with information tables thrown around everywhere in it. But still its quite a buyable book for one can never have enough books about "Soviet and Russian Nuclear Submarines." It certainly should be enough of a reason for anyone to buy it...
