Command and control : nuclear weapons, the Damascus accident, and the illusion of safety / Eric Schlosser. by Schlosser, Eric. Penguin Press, 2010. Call #: 355.825119 S345c Subjects Nuclear weapons -- United States -- History.   Nuclear weapons -- Accidents -- United States -- History.   Nuclear arms control.   Nuclear crisis stability. ISBN:  9781594202278 1594202273 Description:  xix, 632 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  Subtitle from cover. Summary:  "Drawing on recently declassified documents and interviews with people who designed and routinely handled nuclear weapons, Command and Control takes readers into a terrifying but fascinating world that, until now, has been largely hidden from view. Through the details of a single accident, Schlosser illustrates how an unlikely event can become unavoidable, how small risks can have terrible consequences, and how the most brilliant minds in the nation can only provide us with an illusion of control. Audacious, gripping, and unforgettable, Command and Control is a tour de force of investigative journalism, an eye-opening look at the dangers of America's nuclear age."--From publisher.
