"While much has been written about the Cold War from the political,
diplomatic and overall military perspective, very little has been
written about the American warriors who fought and won the war. In
"Deterrence," Adams tells the story of the U.S. leaders,
commanders, enlisted men of the U.S. military strategic nuclear
forces that successfully defeated the Soviet war machine. This book
goes a long way toward telling how and why the United States
prevailed in the Cold War." "In this notable work, Chris Adams has not only captured the
essence of national security through vigilant deterrence, but
clearly recognizes and honors the leaders, commanders, service
members and families who played critical roles in the defense of
our country." "I had the privilege of serving with General Chris Adams in
Strategic Air Command.During those critical years, SAC's charged
"Cold Warriors" and their families were at the center of our
deterrent force. Herein, Adams captures the critical mission and
importance of those whose professional service behind the scenes
made it possible to win the Cold War." Few Americans recognized or paid close attention to the outset of the Cold War and thereafter its enduring years, mainly because it persisted for so long and few alarming situations intruded their daily lives. Only noteworthy events such as SPUTNIK, the shooting down of Gary Powers' U-2 spy plane and the Cuban Crisis brought the potentially threatening circumstances home, and then only briefly until other news items took their place. America has never fallen short of heroes when called upon for the common defense of the nation and the Cold War period of uncertainty called upon America's best and brightest to respond-national leaders, military commanders and an elite force of warriors trained with the most sophisticated war-fighting equipment U.S. technology could provide to create the strategy and deterrent force that endured.
