Can someone recommend a good book on an overview of the Russian nuclear sub program and mishaps?

I find a decent amount of books available at used bookstores. Being in Texas, I often browse Half Price Books, especially near military towns. After the parents pass, their kids will take their books here and one can find all sorts of useful, non-politicized material.

I also like:

the Russian nuclear sub program and mishaps?

The K-19
“I accompanied him [the first volunteer] to the reactor room door — to his death. And I said, ‘Well, Boris, do you know where you’re going?’

“And he said, ‘I know, comrade captain.’

Five minutes later, Korchilov stumbled out of the reactor room, tore off his gas mask and vomited.”

This link is a short quick read.
Much has been written on the K-19, also some good documentaries.

And yes, the great and glorious USSR truly wasted the lives of some of its finest.

The men of the K-19 were nominated for a noble peace prize...zip.
But some zero from nowhere, that did nothing???
