It takes a close look at America's efforts, since the dawn of the atomic era, to ensure that our nuclear weapons won't detonate accidentally, get stolen or sabotaged, be used by one of our own military personnel without proper authorization. My latest book, Command and Control, gives a minute-by-minute account of a nuclear weapon accident in Damascus, Arkansas. What I'm trying to do is provide information that the mainstream media usually ignores-and that powerful bureaucratic institutions work hard to suppress.
If someone wants to eat a couple of Big Macs every day, hey, it's a free country. But ultimately I'm not trying to tell people what to do. I tend to write about things that are bad for you: prisons, fast food, the war on drugs, thermonuclear warheads.
I'm the author of Fast Food Nation, Reefer Madness, and a new book, Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety.
