Other than your Mom and other baby boomers, you don't have personal memory of the cold war era. This book is a very readable history, written almost like a techno-thriller, except that it is all true. If you want to take a peek into the history of nuclear weapons and especially a first hand history of a slow motion accident at a Titan 2 site, well, this is your book. It is at any library in both book, and audio book formats.
