I just unpacked the 10 boxes of books here, and I did save two, one is called "Nuclear Battlefields", its kind of dated, 1985 copyright, but its good, though it reflects a cold war strategic posture.
I just went to Amazon, and they have copies of it: its entitled :
The Nuclear Battlefields: Global Links in the Arms Race.
in my search I just saw another book that you might like, IF, you're into defense infrastructure and it's by the same author, Wliiam Arkin, called "Code Names: Deciphering U.S. Military Plans, Programs and Operations in the 9/11 World"
I'm really surprised this book saw the light of day, in fact I read it so infuriated Secty Rumsfeld that he vetted a 1,000 personnel to find out who is leaking this stuff, But the more I ponder this, its HELPFUL to us, and I'll tell you why: It puts the islamo-fascists on notice that though they may believe America is a nation of softies, it shows them that we DO have guys "on the wall", and that they are NOT dealing with a bunch of soft indulgent "infidels". The book might give code names and programs, but they will never know from what direction disaster is going to befall them next.
Please forgive me: I know this stuff is all the "business of Caesar", not of Christ, but the way I feel about it is this: man, in worshipping the god of science has sealed his fate, our fate.
God made the sun, which brings us light, and we grow our crops, and warm ourselves and enjoy this light that is our sun. Man, us, we , you, me, have tried to mimic that power, and we crafted weapons that for a brief moment unleash this power, and this will be the doom that John Zeebedee saw in Revelations. Mark my words, and it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots, but there will come a day, when many many nations possess nuclear weaponry, combine that with an overcrowded world, shrinking resources and a depraved fallen nature given to violence and greed, and watch out, these weapons will be used with impunity.
Am I without hope?
not at all, I rest in Christ and on the Word, the Logos, there's no fear, as you well know dear brother.
also, theres another book, Dark Sun by Richard Rhodes on the making of the hydrogen bomb, its thick, detailed, but good.
May God bless you is my prayer today, bartle
