A year later, he was operating an underground strategic missile control center with 10 intercontinental nuclear weapons capable of obliterating an entire country. This unexpected journey took him from the serene hills of Virginia through months of intensive training on the California coast to the front lines of the Cold War, beneath the frozen plains of North Dakota. His frank, entertaining memoir describes the insular and secretive military subculture of men and women who lived with the sobering burden of potentially unleashing global devastation, and how an easy-going gym coach ended up in an organization whose unofficial motto was To err is human; to forgive is not Strategic Air Command policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1. How Did I Get Here?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2. Those Who Can't Teach…\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3. Choose Your Service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4. Paper Underwear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5. What Kind of School Is This?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6. A Cold War Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 7. The Pointy End Goes Up, Gentlemen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 8. The Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 9. Riders May Experience Slight Turbulence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 10. Right Justified?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 11. E(woe) Is Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 12. California's Endless Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 13. Go North, Young Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 14. Yes, But a Very Smart Monkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 15. Sleeping on Alert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 16. The Missileer Code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 17. How to Unbutton a Launch Silo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 18. Women in the Man Cave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 19. Why So Testy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 20. North Dakota—Vacationland USA!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 21. The Missile Olympics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 22. The Pit vs. the Cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 23. The Monster in the Drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 24. Talking Shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 25. It's Not the Blast That Will Kill You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 26. Grooving to the Groobers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 27. Jail Break\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 28. The Cape Crusader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040497664343,"sku":"9781476686370","price":20.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476686370.jpg?v=1750946934","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rehearsing-for-doomsday-9781476686370","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
