Description
xWhat happens when the countdown never stops?
Since the first atomic flash illuminated the New Mexico desert, humanity has lived in the long shadow of its own ingenuity. Minutes to Midnight is a sobering, panoramic journey through the politics, science, and strategy that have brought the world repeatedly to the brink of annihilation and sometimes pulled it back just in time.
In thirty riveting chapters, Wayne J. Gombar explores the history and future of nuclear weapons: from Hiroshima to hypersonic, from Cold War doctrine to 21st-century cyber threats. Drawing on military archives, international treaties, and firsthand accounts, this book examines the fragile dance of deterrence, the failures of arms control, and the human errors that nearly ignited global catastrophe.
As the Doomsday Clock ticks closer to midnight than ever before, Minutes to Midnight poses urgent questions:
The future is unwritten. But time is running out. Author Bio

As the Doomsday Clock ticks closer to midnight than ever before, Minutes to Midnight poses urgent questions:
- Can deterrence hold in a multipolar, AI-driven world?
- What happens when rogue states-or rogue actors-disrupt the balance?
- Are we more vulnerable now than at any time in history?
