Incident at Aviano: The Story of a Very Brave Man

Beschreibung

This book cannot be tidily pigeonholed into a single genre. In part, it's a military thriller based on a 1965 nuclear incident at Aviano Air Base that wasn't publicly reported. In part, it's the biography of Dan Cassino, a military officer who joined the nation's nuclear weapons program from its earliest days and played a central role in the 1965 incident. In part, it's a history of the Air Force nuclear weapons program through 1965. Finally, it contains an alternative history--envisioning the world that might have been if the Aviano incident had gone horribly wrong.
