Going MAD Johnstone Paul H.
This deathbed memoir by Dr. Paul H. Indeed, such research has been kept largely secret, with the intention "not to alarm the public" about what was being cooked up.This is the story of how U.S. Johnstone, former senior analyst in the Strategic Weapons Evaluation Group (WSEG) in the Pentagon and a co-author of The Pentagon Papers, provides an authoritative analysis of the implications of nuclear war that remain insurmountable today.
It drives home these key understandings:That whichever way you look at it -- and this book shows the many ways analysts tried to skirt the problem -- nuclear war means mutual destructionThat Pentagon planners could accept the possibility of totally destroying another nation, while taking massive destructive losses strategic planners in the 1950s and 1960s worked their way to the conclusion that nuclear war was unthinkable.
