In Nuking the Moon, intelligence historian Vince Houghton shows us
that what didn't happen is just as illuminating as what did. During
WWII and the Cold War, for every Argo or Operation Mincemeat there
were countless abandoned plans. Some are laughable, like the US
Navy's plan to turn bats into flying firebombs; some are
implausible, like the Kennedy administration's plan to build a
command centre 4,000 feet underground; and some are legitimately
terrifying, like the cornucopia of US plans to justify attacking
Cuba.
