LAST SENTRY

Valery Sablin and the true hunt for "Red October". Providing inspiration for Tom Clancy's "The Hunt for Red October", the 1975 mutiny aboard the Soviet destroyer "Storozhevoy" ("Sentry") aimed at nothing less than the overthrow of Brezhnev and the Soviet government. Valery Sablin, a brilliant young political officer, seized control of the ship by convincing half the officers and all of the sailors to sail to Leningrad, where they would launch a new Russian Revolution. Told in full for the first time, this is the gripping story of a disillusioned idealist forced to choose between working within or destroying the system he is sworn to protect.
