THOUGHT PROVOKING READ

In the tradition of ON THE BEACH and FAIL SAFE, COUNTERFORCE gives the reader a tour of American and Russian nuclear war fighting strategy. Though it takes place during the Cold War, much of the material is relevant today, as reflected in the recent interest in a SALT III treaty. Henrick keeps the action moving along at a brisk pace, and reveals some interesting characters along the way.
