'It is certainly a good thing for the world that Hitler's crowd or Stalin's did not discover this atomic bomb. It seems to be the most terrible thing ever discovered' - US President Harry S. Truman
We have teetered precariously on the brink of Armageddon far more frequently than the general public realises.
Since 1945, and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagaskai, there have been a terrifying number of nuclear accidents and mishaps, from the careless or accidental to the genuinely intentional and only narrowly averted. The disasters at the Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear plants are well known, but the vast majority of the events recorded in this book remain shrouded in secrecy. And, despite the cataclysmic nature of any nuclear conflict, we have come to the very borders of such a situation eight times since the 1960s.
Written by a former career intelligence officer, Eve of Destruction is a call to sit up and listen, and take note of a very real danger of nuclear catastrophe - one that threatens the continued existence of our planet.
