**From the legendary whistle-blower who revealed the Pentagon Papers, an eyewitness exposé of the awful dangers of America’s hidden, fifty-year-long nuclear policy that continues to this day.**When former presidential advisor Daniel Ellsberg famously took the top-secret Pentagon Papers, he also took with him a chilling cache of top secret documents related to America’s nuclear program in the 1960s. Here for the first time he reveals the contents of those documents, and makes clear their shocking relevance for today.*The Doomsday Machine* is Ellsberg’s hair-raising insider’s account of the most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization, whose legacy—and proposed renewal under the Trump administration—threatens the very survival of humanity. It is scarcely possible to estimate the true dangers of our present nuclear policies without penetrating the secret realities of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, when Ellsberg had high-level access to them. No other insider has written so candidly of that long-classified history, though the policies remain fundamentally, and frighteningly, unchangedEllsberg, in the end, offers steps we can take under the current administration to avoid nuclear catastrophe. Framed as a memoir, this gripping exposé reads like a thriller with cloak-and-dagger intrigue, placing Ellsberg back in his natural role as whistle-blower. It is a real-life Dr. Strangelove story, but an ultimately hopeful—and powerfully important—book.ES Index : 1ES Name : The Doomsday MachineFormats : EPUBHas Cover : YesNum of Aut : 1Number of Formats : 1Number of Words in Auth: 2Original Source : Mirc New Files 12-05Record ID : 793Single Author : Daniel EllsbergSorted Author by LN, FN: Ellsberg, DanielTemplate Work Area : MachineTest Text Series Index: MachineTitle Length : 020Title Parm A : The Doomsday MachineTitle Parm B : (Title Parm D : The Doomsday MachineTitle Parm F : The Doomsday MachineUncomma Author : Daniel Ellsbergwords : 166808
