Hostile Waters (ISBN 0312966121) is a 1997 nonfiction book by Peter Huchthausen, Igor Kurdin and R. Alan White that describes the 1986 loss of the Soviet submarine K-219 off Bermuda while captained by Igor Britanov.[1]
The incident was also described in the 1997 film of the same name.[2] The book was criticized by a reviewer for the US Naval Institute[3] for insinuating that the loss of the submarine was caused by a collision with the USS Augusta--a claim initially made by Soviet authorities but denied by both the US Navy and the captain of K-219--though other reviews noted but did not take issue with this choice.[4]
