Larry Bond: ‘Clearly written and well-paced. Definitely recommended’
Warships International Fleet Review: ‘Excellent book!’

In Deepest Secrecy is the only book about secret Dutch submarine operations. Read how diesel subs closed in on Russian ships in the Mediterranean and gathered the Soviet warship’s fingerprints.

‘You need to realise that we are operating as if it were war.’

During the Cold War, six Dutch submarines secretly gathered intelligence about the Soviet Navy. Only a handful of people outside the Royal Netherlands Navy were aware of these operations, as they were not NATO operations.

For the first time, In Deepest Secrecy describes these top secret deployments in detail. On the basis of interviews and archival research, Jaime Karremann reveals how the Dutch submarines followed, photographed and listened to Soviet ships unnoticed, from the freezing Arctic Ocean to shallow waters near Egypt.

In Deepest Secrecy is a book about people, boats and, above all, the underwater adventures that have never before been made public.
