The Real Dr. Strangelove
by
The other day, I came across a link to a review in the New York Times in Google Reader, with the title "Sci-Fi Dream Turns World’s Worst Nightmare," and I initially thought it might be a review of Wastelands, so I hurried over to look. It was not, alas. Instead, it was a review of Doomsday Men by P.D. Smith, an historical account of "the gripping, untold story of the doomsday bomb—the ultimate weapon of mass destruction." The review is kind of down on the book, but it sounds interesting to me. Anyone read it yet?
