How did the U.S. obtain a Russian sub K-129 during the Cold War? KBTC's Northwest Now tells the story

Posted: December 08, 2017

Exactly how the CIA recovered a sunken Soviet submarine during the height of the Cold War sounds like something from a Hollywood spy thriller.

In this edition of Northwest Now, host Tom Layson sits down with the author of a new book that follows the true story of this covert incident that took place in the Pacific almost five decades ago.

The Emmy and Telly Award-winning public affairs series Northwest Now airs Fridays at 7:30 p.m. on KBTC Public Television, a service of Bates Technical College.
