| Summary: | "What happens if there is a nuclear attack on America? At the height of the Cold War, that question was on the mind of most U.S. citizens. In 1958, the United States Department of Defense produced a highly classified document to answer it. The document was called The Emergency Plans Book, and it was a stark look at what might happen to America in the event of a total nuclear war with Russia. The plan is shocking. It outlines America's utter destruction step by step, and the government's seemingly futile attempt to deal with it. The Doomsday Scenario includes the only known declassified copy of The Emergency Plans Book. Alongside the historic original document, author L. Douglas Keeney provides commentary throughout to explain technical terms, and to clarify simply worded phrases with enormous ramifications. America has often been on the brink of annihilation. Few could imagine what a nuclear attack really meant, until now. You hold in your hands the official Doomsday Scenario"--Back cover. |
