To anyone that wants to read this book (and you should), be prepared to frequently hold one hand under your jaw - to prevent it from hitting the floor when it falls.

And if cold-war nuclear lore is your thing, check out the photo gallery at http://atomic-annhilation.blogspot.com

Weird, says not currently available for purchase - I don't even have the option to add it to the wish list.

Click one of the formats (Kindle, hardcover, etc) and you should be able to purchase then.

Ah, thank you!

Thanks! I loved Fast Food Nation, and wasn't aware he wrote a new book. This is right up my alley!

Also worthwhile is "Five Myths about Nuclear Weapons" http://www.amazon.com/Five-Myths-About-Nuclear-Weapons/dp/05...

A very well-researched book that challenges, adequately in my opinion, some of the fundamental assumptions about nuclear weapons. First and foremost, that "the atomic bombs ended the war with Japan".

It helps to understand that the bombs weren't aimed at Japan, in an abstract sense. They were aimed at Russia.
