Summary: Fascinating stories of cold war submariners
Review: I found this to be fascinating. I read the entire book in one day. Each story was more interesting than the last. A great book for anyone interested in real espionage stories.
Rating:
Summary: A factual account that reads like a great work of fiction.
Review: Since I have lived my whole life in the shadow of the US Submarine base in New London, CT., this subject has always been of great interest to me. I have also had the pleasure to hear stories such as these first hand from the men who built and served on these incredible vessels. If you have ever wondered what the US Navy personel endured to effort to secure our nations safety, you must read this book.

Summary: too many disasters, too little espionage
Review: Half the book is on underwater disasters. While horrible and unfortunate, it has little effect on national security concerns. I felt that the title of the book is a little misleading as I expecting just espionage achievements of the USN. The espionage that is revealed in the book, you could describe in a few paragraphs. Most of it has been disclosed in other articles/books. I agree with the other reviewer, the PBS TV program was the right format for the information provided (one hour is sufficient). I guess much of this topic is still classified (as some of the other reviewers seem to know).
Rating: 
Summary: Worth reading but, the truth is still out there.
Review: The portions of the book that that deal with the political actions of the military and government are very well writen, but the sea stories are writen by people who have only ever gone to sea on a cruise ship, not a submarine.
Rating:
Summary: Intense, great book, story of courage and unknown warfare
Review: Excellent book, fascinating story of untold stories of heroism in our nations defense during the cold war.

Summary: Well researched-well written-very informative-frightening
Review: My son and son in-law are veteran, career submariners...however, until reading this book I had no idea of what the mission(s) of the submarine navy really is. Just reading this book raised the level of respect(which was already high)for what these guys do for us. The risks they take and the sacrifices that they have made and are making for the USA go beyond what the general public can possibly conceive. No doubt that because of the involvement of my family in the Navy, I'm a bit more biased in how I viewed the importance of the events documented in the book. I found a growing sense of pride the more I read about the unselfishness and devotion to duty that these submariners have exhibited over the years. Incredibly, the book, in my estimation, remained politically neutral in its presentation of the events that occurred throughout the numerous presidential administrations over which the stories of submarine situations took place. I highly recommend this book to anyone that has a real interest in what was going on during the Cold War beneath the surface of the oceans. However, I am most hesitant to let my wife read it since I'm not sure I want her to really know what my son is really doing. My thanks to the authors and contributors of this book for a most informative and extremely well written manuscript.

Summary: Superb
Review: Engrossing from the start, Blind Man's Bluff offers compelling stories and a totaly unexpected look at the art and science of espionage and life below sea level.
Rating:
Summary: Veteran with extensive anti-submarine background
Review: I was intimately involved in collecting and processing the acoustic intelligence from submarines, surface ships and landbased sensors. This book is right on the money. I think many readers will agree with me in that the Walker family and other's who sold the information obtained by our brave submarine crews deserve the death sentence -- not just a few years in a federal prison.

Summary: Great for the kids!
Review: Simply stated, this book belongs in the "Juniors" section of your public library.
Rating:
Summary: Informational but not emotional
Review: Lots of drama here that usually doesn't break through the author's writing...when it does, it's a great ride, but much of the time I feel like I'm reading countless newspaper articles. The hour-long PBS special on submarines does the trick.
