Summary

At the same time former presidential advisor Daniel Ellsberg famously took the top-secret Pentagon Papers, he also took with him a chilling cache of top secret documents related to America's nuclear programme in the 1960s. Here, he reveals the contents of those documents, and makes clear their shocking relevance for today. 'The Doomsday Machine' is Ellsberg's hair-raising insider's account of the most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilisation, whose legacy, and propposed renewal under the Trump administration, threatens the very survival of humanity.
