Listened to this 2 times on Audible and had to have my own hard copy. Excellent book, well researched and great perspectives.

This book should be a school textbook Every human on our planet should know, what atomic boms are all about And one has to e very careful, in considering, what sort of person can lead a country as a president or whatever. Its a a frightening thought, to have, for example, a Donald Trump in one corner, and the rocket man from Korea in the other. Its a MUST read.

An absolutely gripping and horrific read. Don’t read alone. Brings back memories of the original planet of the apes movie, with absolutely none of the sunshine.

This is one of those books that will likely change your perspective on the world, politics and the tenuous grasp we humans have on existence. Written is a very matter of fact but amazingly page-turning way, I hauled through this book. Definitely puts a new perspective on the "North Korea performs missile test" news stories.
