Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Involved in many Cold War events, the author became a insider, a nuclear physicist looking right into the dragon's mouth, at the very weapons that made things so chilling and nearly calamitous. This isn't simply an historical narrative; it's also an investigative journalist's expos of the institutional complex that nurtured a nuclear-arms race almost to our oblivion, while fostering inhuman consequences. Nurturing both sides of the Cold War were mindless military-industrial complexes. No one else has given an account of such intense and personal experience - as technical manager, observer, and activist - insider or outsider. This first-hand narrative chronicles the half-century nuclear crisis: nerve-wracking situations, one global instability to another - tracking the Cold War, its anxieties, controversies, and impact. All of us wittingly or unwittingly had a stake in the nuclear-arms race. My father was a soldier of fortune, a mercenary with a lifelong career serving in American and other armies. When World War II broke out, I was sent to military school, then college. After a bachelor's degree in journalism, obligatory active-duty followed in the Atlantic amphibs: three years as a commissioned officer, partly during the Korean War, in the Reserves for 16 years, eventually the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Attending graduate school under the GI Bill, I became a PhD physicist, entering the esoteric domains of nuclear reactors and weapons - and later arms control and treaty verification. It didn't take long working at a national laboratory to gain a conservative fear of atomic weapons. That gave me a seat at the table - literally lunch at cafeterias of nuclear laboratories, and at the most sensitive facilities of the former Soviet Union, as well as agencies and entities that functioned within the U.S. Gradually I gained access to most nuclear secrets, as well as decades of human inequities and governmental arrogance, unexpectedly becoming an expert in nuclear technology and weapons. In tracking Cold War history, skillful memoirs have been published by individuals who were decision makers, as well as assessments by professional historians. What distinguishes Cold War Brinkmanship is my first-hand role - knowledgeable insider, witness, participant - sometimes an activist and target of FBI investigation (documented under FOIA). Now, I've become an author and a knowledgeable source as the Trump presidency moves along. This personalized narrative tracks the Cold War, its anxieties, controversial issues, and impact. Whether you were a fellow citizen, part of the silent majority or vocal minority, or a conscientious bureaucrat - together we had a stake in the outcome of the frightful and expensive nuclear-arms race. Just a single conscientious mortal decision was (and still is) needed to activate the nuclear "football," to incinerate and radiate. Standing by in every weaponized nuclear nation is someone awaiting the authorization for the chain of command to carry out orders of immense consequence. To hasten World War II's end, such fateful decisions and consequential orders were carried out, destroying Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Something similar, or much worse, almost happened during the Cold War Cuban missile crisis. Our children, their children, people around the world: None ought to suffer such traumatic and dangerous times. With pockets of famine, civil injustice, wars of liberation, suicidal ideologies, natural disasters, other global instabilities - who needs a return to Cold War brinkmanship? Decisionmakers, be cautious!Maybe these recollections will demonstrate how difficult it was to contain the nuclear-arms race as it grew more alarming, more expensive, and more consequential. This book is written not by a high-level bureaucrat, but by someone who became a very-well-informed and concerned citizen, anti-w Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Donald J. Trump presidency from its outset has had to deal with long-unresolved domestic and international challenges. The domestic issues are recurring - budgets, elections, immigration, citizenship, and other difficulties. Some international problems carried over from previous administrations go back to the Cold War, especially regarding Korea, Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, and the Mid-East.This analysis of challenges now faced by the Trump administration is extracted from my more comprehensive 684pp book Cold War Brinkmanship (Amazon, 2017), which includes a personal and technical narrative, as well as some in-depth coverage of issues.The 60s, 70s, and early 80s were churned by domestic and international discord. Our mood was dampened by seemingly endless public crises kindled by evolving Cold War threats. Fatalism (about lifespan that might be shortened by a looming nuclear war) gradually spread all around, especially when hawkish brinkmanship (dangerous situations pushed to the threshold of disaster) increased the risk of atomic incineration.This book is an historical narrative by someone professionally and uniquely familiar with the complex technology exploited in war. No matter how much on the topic you've read, none has been authored by anyone with my combination of relevant technical experience, nuclear insight, and personal participation.The Cold War became the framework for military conflicts around the world, including an East-West standoff about Berlin, the Iron Curtain's evolution, the devastating Korean War, a traumatic Cuban Missile Crisis, and the extended conflict in Indochina. The dominant Washington-beltway-bandit themes of "doomsday" and "brinkmanship" became the center of think-tank attention. There were other phrases too, such as the Doomsday Machine, which did little to calm public fear. A strategic launch-on-warning doctrine was dominant: Nuclear-armed bombers and missiles could be set in motion within minutes - just a few fingers away from unforgivable decisions on mutual destruction.Efforts to prevent nuclear catastrophe became embodied in arms-control treaties negotiated between the two polarized adversaries. These treaties benefitted not only restless citizens but also reduced budgetary excesses.Even now there's no lack of residual problems. For example, Russia's brazen military annexation of Crimea and armed incursion into eastern Ukraine resulted in economic and diplomatic sanctions - by the Obama administration, the European Union, and NATO - thus complicating Trump's subsequent attempt at rapport with Putin. To the extent that American domestic politics does not intrude on foreign affairs and inter-government relations, President Trump can avoid dangerous situations that could escalate into nuclear confrontations.This is not just a memoir, nor autobiography: It's a recollection of our passage through a minefield of fateful Cold War situations. Most important as far as I'm concerned are the portentous lessons that emerged. This book identifies some residual Cold War obstacles that the Trump administration has to overcome.
