Coles A Fiery Peace Cold War: Bernard Schriever and the Ultimate Weapon at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The US-Soviet arms race, told through the story of a colorful and visionary American Air Force officer — melding biography, history, world affairs, and science to transport the reader back and forth from individual drama to world stage.
"Compulsively readable and important.” — The New York Times Book Review
In this never-before-told story, Neil Sheehan—winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award -- details American Air Force officer Bernard Schriever’s quest to prevent the Soviet Union from acquiring nuclear superiority, and describes American efforts to develop the unstoppable nuclear-weapon delivery system, the intercontinental ballistic missile, the first weapons meant to deter an atomic holocaust rather than to be fired in anger.
In a sweeping narrative, Sheehan brings to life a huge cast of some of the most intriguing characters of the cold war, including the brilliant physicist John Von Neumann, and the hawkish Air Force general, Curtis LeMay.
