Synopsis "Cold War: The Bombs Of August"

The Bombs Of August-A Spectacular Story! In this riveting, historic account of the U. S. run-up to a nuclear standoff with the Soviet Union, Michael J. Paskel provides a spell-binding narrative of the events leading to the development of the most powerful bomb ever detonated, and continues with the world's two super power's insatiable affinity for the weapons' mutually assured destructive capacity... The dangerous, complex issues faced with testing, storing and building more weapons than we could ever possibly use are explored in this look back at the last 7 decades of tension between the two major centers of political power. Today, with terrorists seeking fissile material for dirty bombs, and command and control of these dangerous weapons hanging in the balance, the peril faced by a troubled world is real. Michael's ability to distill the complexity of the science to an understandable level, is exceeded only by his colorful descriptions, masterful writing and astute political observations. COLD WAR: The Bombs of August will leave you with a realization of the utter brilliance of the people behind the Manhattan Project and those who hold this destructive arsenal in check, juxtaposed against an incredible degree of thankfulness that the Super-bomb, and the tragedy it disposes, was never used in war. This subject is more relevant today than it ever was. And a new generation must deal with its unforgiving nature and its perilous potential.
