From investigative journalist Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, comes an account of the management of nuclear weapons. Through 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?

Review of 'Command and Control' on 'Storygraph'

A chilling account of the history of US nuclear weapons, that unfortunately leaves me wanting to hear more about the Soviet side of the story. This book also helps to put the history of computing and especially the development of computer networks into perspective.
