Benjamin Schwartz visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss his book "Right of Boom: The Aftermath of Nuclear Terrorism".
What if ... a nuclear weapon explodes in a major American city and no one can prove who is responsible? The devastation is horrifying, but even more alarming is the limited options available for the United States government to respond. What happens next?
In Right of Boom, Schwartz looks at what could happen after a nuclear explosion takes place in the United States. Hypothesizing an explosion in downtown Washington, D.C., he maps out the likely ramifications while going deep into history to explore the limited range of options available to a Commander in Chief. Drawing from his experience as an analyst at the Departments of Defense, State, and Energy, he offers a panoramic view of a terrifying possibility.
