About this product
Product Information
From the early 1950s until 1992, the US Army deployed thousands of nuclear warheads throughout Europe as a deterrent to Soviet ambitions. The end of the Cold War saw the decommissioning of much of the US nuclear arsenal and the phasing out of support personnel. This memoir by one of the Army's last "glow worms" chronicles his career as a nuclear weapons specialist.

Reviews
"Illuminates American military life abroad at the end of the Cold War. The most fascinating aspect of Woodward's book is his role in Operation Silent Echo, the historic mission to disarm and remove American nuclear weapons from West Germany, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and South Korea. Woodward is careful with his word choices, choosing simple steps and explanations over complicated technical details. This is a mark of good writing. Woodward paints a lively picture of a different kind of frontline, one that was populated by invisible men and women who played a crucial role in the mission of nuclear deterrence. I am thankful for having read this account and even more thankful for Woodward's service"-- H-Net Reviews .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
