📱 eBook en inglés NEAR MISSES: NUCLEAR CLOSE CALLS THAT ALMOST CHANGED HISTORY

Historys greatest reliefs are often its narrowest escapes. This book recounts the tense, little‑known incidents when nuclear disaster nearly became reality—from malfunctioning radar systems and misread signals to rogue commanders and political brinkmanship. "Near Misses" pieces together declassified reports, eyewitness accounts, and archival evidence to reconstruct how fragile the balance of deterrence truly was throughout the Cold War and beyond. Each episode—whether a false alarm or a miscommunication between rival states—reveals how human intuition and restraint repeatedly stood between peace and annihilation. More than a chronicle of danger, the book examines what these close calls teach about technology, uncertainty, and the moral weight of decision‑making under pressure. Its a sobering reminder that the difference between history and oblivion has often hinged on a single moment of doubt.
