Eve of Destruction - Operation Able Archer - Paperback

by James Ward (Author)

1983 is a time of heady confidence in Washington but a time of creeping paranoia in the Kremlin. Unwittingly, Ronald Reagan's bravado and Yuri Andropov's delusions combine to bring the world to the brink of nuclear war; closer to destruction than even the Cuban missile crisis. Agent Bob Steck perceives the signs of impending disaster while working on a joint CIA - MI6 operation. The date is set for a first strike. Can he uncover enough evidence and prevent nuclear holocaust?
