Description:

The Inside Story of Our Dangerous Nuclear World. US President Truman evidently understood the terrifying power of atomic weaponry, but no one could have realised its full potential when he ordered the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Leading military historian, John Hughes-Wilson exposes just how close we''ve come to genuine nuclear disaster - military and civilian, on many occasions. This book records the facts - many of them still shrouded in secrecy - which show a worrying truth: we have teetered precariously on the brink of Armageddon far more frequently than the general public realises.
