Major nuclear threat to America emanates from Washington, not Moscow or Peking. Mindless design, production, testing and transport of nuclear weapons may be a greater threat to national security and all our enemies, real or imaginary. Roger Rapport his written a book that bids to be a classic of the muckraker's art. His research has taking him to the super secret H-bomb assembly plant in Texas, to Nevada test site, to Pentagon friends like NORAD which coordinates our nuclear defense with a radar system that once detected an incoming ballistic missile that turned out to be the moon. A searing and searching indictment of both the Pentagon in the Atomic Energy Commission, the Great American Bomb Machine is both a chronicle of how are nuclear war machine doesn't work and a citizen's call for unilateral withdrawal by the United States from the building and testing of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons makers have spent over 30 billion dollars to supposedly make America safe for democracy. Their network extends from Florida to Alaska, and comprises a greater threat to our national security than all our enemies real or imaginary. The quality of the average nuclear bomb is controlled little better than the quality of the average mass-produced automobile. The defects in production have resulted in accidental detonations. The nuclear weapons makers have raised our nations infant mortality rate, permanently contaminated 250 square miles in Nevada, hiked the cancer rate in Denver, triggered small earthquakes in Las Vegas, contaminated Alaskan caribou and committed countless thousands of other atrocities in the name of safety and peace.
