🔥 If you want to dive deeper into this story, here are the books and resources I used to research this episode:
1. "Blind Man's Bluff" by Sherry Sontag - THE definitive book on Cold War submarine espionage. Contains detailed accounts of submarine collisions just like USS Baton Rouge. This is the book I used to research this episode.

2. "Red November" by W. Craig Reed - Focuses specifically on U.S.-Soviet submarine confrontations in waters where collisions like Baton Rouge happened regularly. Includes incidents never before declassified.

3. "Hostile Waters" by Peter Huchthausen - The story of K-219, another submarine collision in 1986 that nearly started World War III. Shows what could have happened if Baton Rouge had been worse.

4. If you prefer watching: "The Hunt for Red October" (4K) remains the best submarine thriller ever made and captures the tension of the Cold War underwater warfare that led to incidents like this.

Thank you! 🙏 In the 1970s, six military dictatorships across South America created Operation Condor - a secret alliance that turned an entire continent into a hunting ground. Political refugees who escaped one dictatorship were kidnapped in another and rendered back to face torture and death. Dissidents living in Europe and the United States were assassinated by multinational hit squads. Borders provided no protection. Exile meant no safety.
This is the story of how Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil coordinated intelligence, shared torture techniques, and hunted their enemies across international borders with the knowledge and tacit approval of the United States. From the car bombing that killed Orlando Letelier in Washington D.C. to the secret archives discovered in Paraguay that finally exposed the conspiracy, Operation Condor represents one of the Cold War's darkest chapters - a demonstration of how ideological conflict between superpowers translated into coordinated state terror against civilian populations.
