Requests:  0 Summary:  "In Nuking the Moon, intelligence historian Vince Houghton proves that abandoned plans can be just as illuminating--and every bit as entertaining--as the ones that made it. Vividly capturing the fascinating stories of how twenty-one plans from WWII and the Cold War went from conception, planning, and testing to cancellation, Houghton explores what happens when innovation meets desperation: For every plan as good as D-Day, there's a scheme to strap bombs to bats or dig a spy tunnel underneath the Soviet embassy. Along the way, he reveals what each one tells us about twentieth-century history, the art of spycraft, military strategy, and famous figures like JFK, Castro, and Churchill. By turns terrifying and hilarious--but always riveting--this is the unique story of history left on the drawing board"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 355.07097 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 355.07097 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 355.07097 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList
