When I first read it, I found that one of the more interesting characters in Tom Clancy’s debut novel, The Hunt for Red October , was the political officer, Ivan Putin. His role is to ensure that the leadership and crew of the nuclear submarine were acting in alignment with the values and principles of the Soviet Union. He acts independent from the rest of the crew as his reporting relationship is to Moscow and not to the submarine’s leadership team.
