The final switch: Goldsboro, 1961

https://i0.wp.com/blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Schlosser-Command-and-Control-book.jpg?resize=380%2C552&ssl=1
The threat of nuclear weapons accidents isn’t a new one. Even in 1945, Los Alamos physicists sweated when contemplating all that could possibly go wrong with their bombs, if they went off at the wrong place or the wrong time. Or didn’t go off at all. That’s the bind, really: a nuclear state wants a weapon that always goes off exactly when you tell it to, and never goes off any other time. ...
