Nuclear non-proliferation and the history behind the development and use of nuclear weapons in a diplomatic setting captured my interest 12 years ago and I set out on this journey doing meticulous research on US capabilities. I also cover the Soviet side of the equation in Armageddon,Book III of the First Strike Series, during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.My protaganist, Caleb Young (think Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting) works for the CIA under Truman,Eisenhower and Kennedy falsifying National Intelligence estimates to forestall a pre-emptive first strike by the US military.

The fourth book Thermonuclear Rikki Tikki Tavi book explores FOIA documents that show how seriously JFK entertained a first strike plan developed by Henry Rowen and Carl Kaysen during the Berlin 1961 Crisis.The Corona sattelite images revealed that the Soviets offensive weapons could have been easily destroyed by 55 low flying (400 feet) B-52H bombers. Should JFK have pushed back on the Soviet Iron Curtain relieving the suffering. He certainly had the means. This book begs the ethical questions associated with such a decision.

I have received many literary awards from various book associations . But while these awards and higher ratings are nice I want people to understand what happens when and if even a regional war between India and Pakistan takes place. While I cover that in book II, Finding Designated Ground Zero, the 5th Book about war with China in 2029 brings that horror to life.

Look, I am not out to make a bunch of money but want people to look back in our relatively recent history and realize that these are just men and women making these momentous decisions and at some point the dam could break. You can get all five books for less than 5$ on Amazon
