The Doomsday Machine is Ellsberg's hair-raising insider's account of the most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization, whose legacy - and renewal under the Obama administration - threatens the very survival of humanity. It is scarcely possible to estimate the true dangers of our present nuclear policies without penetrating the secret realities of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, when Ellsberg had high-level access to them.

Urgent for you to Read !
Revisado: 02-12-19
Behind the scenes planning for nuclear bomb use could destroy all civilization on Earth... not limited to the intended targets. Ellsberg worked in the White House with Top Secret clearances. He traveled to interview admirals and pilots in the field, who have ways to start nuclear war on their own without Presidental orders. We, as citizens of all nations, as well as policy planners, politicians, and military leaders, need to read (listen to) this book, in order to understand the background and operation of this dangerous and fragile system, so that we may carefully back out of it for the benefit of all of us.

From the author of the national best seller Chaos comes an outstanding biography of one of the most dazzling and flamboyant scientists of the 20th century that "not only paints a highly attractive portrait of Feynman but also . . . makes for a stimulating adventure in the annals of science." ( The New York Times).

Inspiring biography but Terrible pronunciation
Revisado: 02-01-19
I was a Physics major during the 1970s. Gleick has written an excellent biography of this inspiring genius. The scientific and historical details are fascinating. However, the audiobook is narrated by a nonscientist who has not learned the correct pronunciation of the text he is reading. He mispronounces many famous scientist names and scientific terms. Among the cringe-worthy, he reads the plural of a mathematical matrix as "mattresses" (like a bed). He calls Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann as "JELL Man". Physicist Christiaan Huygens is called "HUGE ens". Alas, this audio book could be narrated much better by a physicist.
