Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety

byEric Schlosser

Eric Schlosser uses Command and Control to investigate nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety through a carefully framed historical account. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
