Description
The foundation of a new, fast-paced novel by the well-known writer Bohdan Sushynsky is the events connected with the implementation, in October 1955, by Italian naval divers of an operation to disable the most powerful Soviet Navy ship—the battleship “Novorossiysk.”
It is known that in 1948 this battleship was transferred to the Soviet fleet under a reparations agreement. In the Italian Navy it was listed under the name “Giulio Cesare,” that is, “Julius Caesar.” When the ship permanently left Italian waters, the creator and commander of the unit of combat divers, Prince Valerio Borghese, who considered himself a fellow of Otto Skorzeny, swore that he would sink it at a Soviet base. Seven years later, the combat divers carried out his plan. But are foreign saboteurs alone responsible for the ship’s destruction?
