• Date:
  March 09, 2011
• Time:
  7 - 9 pm
• Description:

  A conversation with Ron Rosenbaum about his new book, How The End Begins: The Road to a Nuclear World War III.

  After best-selling books about Hitler's evil and Shakespeare's greatness, veteran journalist Ron Rosenbaum takes on a subject that has long obsessed him: the very real possibility of nuclear war. He travels to Omaha’s underground nuclear command center, goes deep into the missile silo complexes beneath the Great Plains, and holds in his hands a set of nuclear launch keys. Along the way, Rosenbaum confronts the missile men as well as the general at the very top of our nation’s nuclear command system with tough questions about the terrifying assumptions underlying it.
