Description

Countdown: The Blinding Future of Nuclear Weapons A gripping investigation into the modern nuclear weapons landscape, Countdown reveals the true nature of these powerful bombs and their caretakers. Science journalist Sarah Scoles takes readers beyond the headlines to uncover the state of nuclear-weapons technology and how those working within the US nuclear complex think about them. Through years of on-the-ground reporting at the nation's nuclear labs, Scoles interrogates the idea that having nuclear weapons keeps us safe, deterring attacks and preventing radioactive warfare. Her sharp and surprising narrative brings readers out of the Cold War era and into the 21st century, opening their eyes to the consequences of nuclear existence. By assessing the existing nuclear apparatus in the US, Scoles provides context necessary to understand the implications of these powerful bombs, both for better and for worse, now and for the future.
