Is Eric Schlosser a hack?

Well it's tough to say. Is Herman Kahn a fraud then, since there's a fair bit of overlap between Dr. Kahn's "On Thermonuclear War" and Mr. Schlosser's work "Command and Control"? To say that Mr. Schlosser is a fraud may be disingenuous, so much to say that while enthusiastic, he's a little under-educated on the subject that he's describing in his works.

Tough to say senpai.

I'm about halfway through command and control right now. There's plenty of fear mongering with his interpretation of the 1950s though it's probably warranted.


His writing style is frustrating. He introduces way too many people and it detracts from the main story.

What are your thoughts on Dr. Kahn's "On Thermonuclear War"?

>>34442009
Just because there's overlap doesn't mean they're the same. Think vegetarians and Hitler.

Fair enough, I've read Kahn's work 4 times, and I haven't had the chance to see Schlosser's work.

Any idea what this is from?

daily reminder that nukes don't exist

What this thread really needs is Oppen.

Shhh he's already watching more than likely. He's become the ghost that stalks nuke threads, correcting the retards and rewarding the just. I love the guy but I think it's cute that he still does Posts in the same format as before and thinks we can't tell it's him.

All the threads end the same way, pic related

Whatever I got it

He straight up lies about the "dead hand" in his book, so yeah he's a hack.

Anymore pics of the Arkansas incident? I remember it. That's the first pic I've seen.

I wonder if the person who took these photos realised they're standing only feet away from a nuclear warhead.
