Defusing Armageddon tackles the real post-WW2 history of nuclear incidents in North America, and the result can be just as hair-raising as the fiction: The history of the organization so far includes missions of nuclear extortion threat evaluation, as well as radioactive material detection and containment. If the White House receives a letter saying "answer our demands or say bye-bye Boston", NEST's number is at the top of the list of people to contact. Defusing Armageddon is a fascinating book. Generally non-partisan and non-paranoid despite its catchy title, it's a lucid explanation of real anti-terrorism efforts with a significant pedigree of effectiveness. It's engrossing reading for national security buffs, and it's even sure appeal to those who think it's been a long time since Tom Clancy's last novel."www.christian-sauve.com"
