Nuking the Moon by Vince Houghton
In Nuking the Moon, intelligence historian Vince Houghton shows us that what didn't happen is just as illuminating as what did. During WWII and the Cold War, for every Argo or Operation Mincemeat there were countless abandoned plans. Some are laughable, like the US Navy's plan to turn bats into flying firebombs; some are implausible, like the Kennedy administration's plan to build a command centre 4,000 feet underground; and some are legitimately terrifying, like the cornucopia of US plans to justify attacking Cuba.
Houghton, Vince: - Vince Houghton is Historian and Curator at the International Spy Museum. He taught courses in Cold War history and intelligence history at the University of Maryland and is the host and creative director of Spycast, the Spy Museum's popular podcast. His work has been published widely in such media as Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Economist, Vanity Fair, and many others.
