The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and its Dangerous Legacy by David E. Hoffman
4.0
After reading this, and vastly increasing my knowledge of the kinds of stuff that went on, (and how *late* they went on) I'm surprised I'm around to write this review.
Having been born in 1980, I was aware, vaguely, of some of the results of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, but....uh....the chapters on how some of the inspectors and scientists just found major fissile material is *LAYING AROUND IN ROOMS* was pretty horrifying.
If you're interested in the subject, this is a very worth while read. It's not dry, and it's not written like a spy novel.
