“The brilliant Neil Sheehan gives us a fascinating history of the Cold War years, wrapped in a narrative of Bennie Schriever, the father of the ICBM program. Just as he did with the war in Vietnam, Sheehan illuminates a period rife with suspicion, misinformation, and paranoia that profoundly changed the world and resonates today.” — Bill Cusumano, Nicola’s Books, Ann Arbor, MI
