Hardcover. Condición: Very Good/Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.The spine remains undamaged. **The upcoming documentary Command and Control, directed by Robert Kenner, finds its origins in Eric Schlosser's book and continues to explore the lit tle-known history of the management and safety concerns of America's nuclea r aresenal.** The New Yorker "Excellent. hair-raising. Command and Control is how nonfiction should be written." (Louis Menand) Famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser digs deep to uncover secrets about the management of America's nuclear arsenal.
