Krátky popis
Bestselling author, former British diplomat and expert on Russia
Rodric Braithwaite's gripping account of the intense rivalry
between Russia and the WestIn 1945, the atom bomb was dropped on
Hiroshima and warfare was never the same again. Armageddon and
Paranoia relates how the power of the atom was harnessed to produce
weapons capable of destroying human civilisation and considers what
this has done to the world. There are few villains in this story:
on both sides of the Iron Curtain, dedicated scientists cracked the
secrets of nature, dutiful military men planned out possible
manoeuvres and politicians wrestled with potentially intolerable
decisions.Patriotic citizens acquiesced to the idea that their
country needed the ultimate means of defence. Some tried to grapple
with the unanswerable question: what end could possibly be served
by such fearsome means? Those who protested went unheard. None of
them wanted to start a nuclear war, but all of them were paranoid
about what the other side might do.The danger of annihilation by
accident or misjudgement has not been entirely absent since. Rodric
Braithwaite, author of bestsellers Moscow 1941 and Afgantsy, paints
a vivid and detailed portrait of this intense period in history.
Its implications are terrifyingly relevant today, as ignorant and
thoughtless talk about nuclear war begins to spread once more.
