Editor's Note:
Running Critical is the thrilling behind-the-scenes drama of how two great institutions - the U.S. Navy and its largest contractor, General Dynamics - launched a nuclear submarine program that sank into one of the worst cost overrun disasters of the century. In novel-like fashion, Patrick Tyler tells how the unchecked greed and power of our country's military-industrial managers forced the shipbuilding program aground, toppled a corporate dynasty, and shattered the lives of three men who had stood at the top of the defense establishment.
