Descripción
Descripción:
: Command and Control, del periodista de investigación Eric Schlosser, autor de Fast Food Nation, es un relato de la gestión de las armas nucleares. A través de accidentes, situaciones de riesgo, heroísmo extraordinario y avances tecnológicos, Command and Control explora el dilema que ha existido desde los albores de la era nuclear: ¿Cómo se despliegan armas de destrucción masiva sin ser destruido por ellas? Schlosser también analiza la Guerra Fría desde una nueva perspectiva, ofreciendo la historia desde abajo, contando las historias de pilotos de bombarderos, comandantes de misiles, equipos de mantenimiento y otros militares comunes que arriesgaron sus vidas para evitar un holocausto nuclear.

Sinopsis:
Command and Control interweaves the minute-by-minute story of an accident at a missile silo in rural Arkansas, where a single crew struggled to prevent the explosion of the most powerful nuclear warhead ever built by the United States, with a historical narrative that spans more than fifty years. It depicts the urgent effort to ensure that nuclear weapons can't be stolen, sabotaged, used without permission, or detonated inadvertently. Schlosser also looks at the Cold War from a new perspective, offering history from the ground up, telling the stories of bomber pilots, missile commanders, maintenance crews, and other ordinary servicemen who risked their lives to avert a nuclear holocaust. Drawing on recently declassified documents and interviews with men 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.

His work has appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, the New Yorker, the Nation, and Vanity Fair, and he was an executive producer on the films Fast Food Nation and There Will Be Blood and a co-producer of the documentary Food Inc.
