I very much enjoyed reading @ArmsControlWonk 's new book over the last two days, even though it is unsettling. Recommended reading for anyone interested in nuclear issues:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1328573915/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=000000123-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1328573915&linkId=8f5dad432a522effb27045beb063f582 …
I think I am going to have my undergrads read it this upcoming semester in my nuclear history/policy course, towards the end of the year. Lots of interesting paper-writing possibilities come to mind; e.g., to write an appendix detailing the disaster response work in NYC.
(I took my only real "vacation" last week, going to Cape May for a few days. While I am not sure that I would call Jeffrey's book "beach reading," my wife and I each read it on the beach, nonetheless!)
I was interested, having enjoyed multiple nuclear war novels, but the sense in the comments was that it didn't much deal with the on-the-ground realities or connect dots. What say you?
It's mostly about the circumstances (both large and small) that lead up to said war, not so much what exactly happens afterwards. One could imagine it being longer (hence my desire to have students write an appendix or two), but I think it works fine on its own terms.
(Because it is focused on the policymakers, it is all a view from very high above for the most part. This makes it sort of an inversion of the more well-worn narrative, like The Day After, which was really a view of the war from below.)
(It's Pat Frank or bust, for me, as far as novels go, but that love was passed down to me. That said, there are a couple of TV and film tellings that are just amazing, and mix the highs and lows well.)
