Security Dilemmas

I'm Richard Purcell, Louisiana native, proud UNC alum, former Capitol Hill staffer, SAIS grad, and (hopefully) keen observer of foreign policy and national security. Nukes are my specialty.
Command and Control is a fantastic book that I would recommend to anyone interested in the subject. Dark Sun is excellent too.

I actually just finished it myself two days ago. Annie Jacobsen apparently did a lot of research before writing it, but her understanding of nuclear issues struck me as superficial at best.
