"In Right of Boom, national security specialist Benjamin Schwartz looks at what could happen after a nuclear explosion takes place in the United States, the event that Presidents Obama and Bush, as well as would-be President Hillary Clinton, have acknowledged as the greatest single national security threat we face.
