It is an 18,750-ton steel monster, taller in length than the Washington Monument and wider than a three-lane highway at its center. Deep beneath the ocean, it can sail silently for months, prectically impossible to detect by the enemy. And the twenty-four ballistic missiles on board just one of these subs have enough strategic nuclear warheads to unleash twice the explosive energy detonated by all the conventional weapons in World War II.\u003cp\u003eNow, for the first time, veteran \"Time\" magazine correspondent Douglas C. Waller takes you on a tension-packed, three-month patrol deep in the Atlantic Ocean and inside one of these Tridents, the U.S.S. \"Nebraska.\" Granted more access to these awesome submarines than any journalist before, Waller penetrates one of the most secretive worlds in the U.S. Military.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cold War may be over, but the U.S. Navy still has Tridents lurking the oceans, always ready at a moment's notice to unleash a nuclear holocaust. In chilling detail, \"Big Red\" reveals the top-secret procedures for starting World War II -- the secret codes, the elaborate fail-safe mechanisms, the highly classified battle tactics for nuclear combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book takes you into this closed society as a witness to secret rituals and life experience where submarines, underwater for months, hope never to unleash the destructive power they command.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Big Red: Three Months on Board a Trident Nuclear Submarine | Douglas C Waller | Hardcover | 9780060194840 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1774319","offer_id":49674912104600,"sku":"1774319","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91csWVMbO1L.jpg?v=1786561504","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/big-red-three-months-on-board-a-trident-nuclear-submarine","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
