The Doomsday Machine by Daniel Ellsberg - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan

(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. )

A book that reveals the contents of Pentagon top-secret papers about the America's nuclear program.

A book from the former presidential advisor Daniel Ellsberg who took top-secret pentagon papers and now he is willing to show them all in this book. The end result is chilling. A vast list of the most dangerous weapons that have ever been manufactured and the potential dangers of the current nuclear policies. No other insider has given us so much information about top secret document and this is why is a book of so much value.

(Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)

"Whether rightly or wrongly, we are the only country in the world that believes it won a war by bombing - specifically by bombing cities with weapons of mass destruction, fire bombs, and atomic bombs - and believes that it was fully justified in doing so. It is a dangerous state of mind. " - Daniel Ellsberg

Ellsberg also does an analysis of how harmful even a small nuclear exchange is. He showed in a nuclear exchange, billions of people and that's just the minimum. If the exchange is bigger then it would be even more fatal. It's quite the revealing title where not only we learn the dangers regarding nuclear weapons, but also Ellsberg teaches us how we can avoid nuclear catastrophe.

Ellsberg delivers the shocking truth that is impossible to find through another medium.
