The Wizards of Armageddon by Fred Kaplan
This is the untold story of the small group of men who have devised the plans and shaped the policies on how to use the Bomb. The book (first published in 1983) explores the secret world of these strategists of the nuclear age and brings to light a chapter in American political and military history never before revealed.
“An intensely important subject...Kaplan makes it absorbing, and what is more, comprehensible.”—Barbara Tuchman
