-Titulo Original : The Doomsday Machine Confessions Of A Nuclear War Planner
-Fabricante :
Bloomsbury Publishing
-Descripcion Original:
About the Author In 1961, Daniel Ellsberg, a consultant to the White House, drafted Secretary Robert McNamaras plans for nuclear war. Later he leaked the Pentagon Papers. A senior fellow of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, he is the author of Secrets and the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Most Dangerous Man in America. He is also a key figure in Steven Spielberg’s film about the Pentagon Papers, The Post, and the winner of the Olof Palme Prize for profound humanism and exceptional moral courage. He lives in Kensington, California, with his wife, Patricia. Shortlisted for the 2018 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in NonfictionFrom the legendary Pentagon Papers whistle-blower, an eyewitness expose of Americas Top Secret, seventy-year nuclear policy that continues to this day.Here, for the first time, former high-level defense analyst Daniel Ellsberg reveals his shocking firsthand account of Americas nuclear program in the 1960s. From the remotest air bases in the Pacific Command, where he discovered that the authority to initiate use of nuclear weapons was widely delegated, to the secret plans for general nuclear war under Eisenhower, which, if executed, would cause the near-extinction of humanity, Ellsberg shows that the legacy of this most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization--and its proposed renewal under the Trump administration--threatens our very survival. No other insider with high-level access has written so candidly of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, and nothing has fundamentally changed since that era.Framed as a memoir--a chronicle of madness in which Ellsberg acknowledges participating--this gripping expose reads like a thriller and offers feasible steps we can take to dismantle the existing doomsday machine and avoid nuclear catastrophe, returning Ellsberg to his role as whistle-blower. The Doomsday Machine is thus a real-life Dr. Strangelove story and an ultimately hopeful--and powerfully important--book about not just our country, but the future of the world. Review The Doomsday Machine is being published at an alarmingly relevant moment, as North Korea is seeking the capability to target the United States with nuclear missiles, and an unpredictable president, Donald Trump, has countered with threats of fire and fury. - New York MagazineA groundbreaking and nightmare-inducing account of how the whole mad system works. - EsquireOne of the best books ever written on the subject--certainly the most honest and revealing account by an insider who plunged deep into the nuclear rabbit holes mad logic and came out the other side. - Fred Kaplan, SlateDaniel Ellsbergs The Doomsday Machine (Bloomsbury) unpacks the power of our atomic arsenal. - Vanity FairEllsberg, the dauntless whistle-blower, has written a timely plea for a reassessment of a weapons program that he describes as institutionalized madness. - Best Books of the Year 2017, The San Francisco ChronicleA passionate call for reducing the risk of total destruction . . . Ellsbergs effort to make vivid the genuine madness of the doomsday machine, and the foolishness of betting our survival on mutually assured destruction, is both commendable and important. - Editors Choice, New York Times Book ReviewBrilliantly and readably tackles an issue even more crucial than decision-making in the U.S. intervention in Vietnam, which is policy on the handling of nuclear weapons. - 10 Excellent December Books, Huffington PostThis candid and chilling memoir describes how Ellsberg came to recognize that the U.S. military’s approach to preparing for nuclear war was terrifyingly casual. If war came, the United States was ready to obliterate not only the Soviet Union but also China--a plan that would have immediately produced 275 million fatalities and then led to another 50 million, owing to the effects of radiation. - Foreign Affairs
