Two Years on the Watch: What I Learned in the Secret Cold War Bunker

By Bruce Rigney

Book Overview

The declassification of top-secret documents by the National Security Agency has made it possible for the author to tell what he learned and observed in his years as a U.S. Air Force Intelligence Officer in West Germany, looking out from the top-secret Intelligence Watch Officer booth within the deeply undergrounded, nuclear-proof Bunker that housed the NATO Sector Operations Center. Along with many fascinating stories and facts that were unknown for decades to anyone without a top-secret clearance, he shares his experiences in averting hostilities between Soviet and American forces that had stood on the precipice of global warfare. The author also reveals the difficult thoughts and feelings he encountered about being part of a two-man team that was prepared to unleash an arsenal of nuclear-tipped missiles over Europe that would have started World War III and brought unthinkable devastation to planet Earth.
