Nationwide Author Steve Sheinkin Fallout Tour & Breakdown Workshop

New York Times Best-selling author Steve Sheinkin presents a sequel to his award-winning book Bomb: the race to build and steal the world’s most dangerous weapon, taking readers on a terrifying journey into the Cold War and our mutually assured destruction.

As World War II draws to a close, the United States and the Soviet Union emerge as the two greatest world powers on opposite ends of the political spectrum. After the United States shows its hand with the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the Soviets refuse to be left behind. With communism sweeping the world, the two nations begin a neck-and-neck competition to build even more destructive bombs and conquer the space race. In their battle for dominance, spy planes fly above, armed submarines swim deep below, and undercover agents meet in the dead of night.

The Cold War game becomes increasingly precarious as guns are pointed at each other, fingers literally on the trigger. The decades-long showdown culminates with the Cuban Missile Crisis, the world’s close appeal with the Third and Final World War.
