Famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser digs deep to uncover secrets about the management of America's nuclear arsenal in Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety (Penguin Press). A groundbreaking account of accidents, near-misses, extraordinary heroism, and technological breakthroughs, Command and Control explores the dilemma that has existed since the dawn of the nuclear age: How do you deploy weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? That question has never been resolved — and Schlosser reveals how the combination of human fallibility and technological complexity still poses a grave risk to mankind. Audacious, gripping, and unforgettable, Command and Control offers an eye-opening look at the dangers of America's nuclear age.
