Broken Arrow,
By
This review is from: The Missing Bomb (Paperback)
The military has code words for mishaps that involve nuclear weapons. The most serious are those in which a weapon is lost or there is an area contaminated with radioactivity. They called them "Broken Arrow." A real Broken Arrow occured in 1958 when a Mark 15 nuclear bomb was really lost in Wassaw Sound near Savannah, Georgia. This weapon used at Hiroshima was a "mere" 15 kiloton fission bomb. The Mark-15 had a yield of 1.6 to 3.9 Megatons! It has never been found. For the true story, Google "Secret Code for Nuclear Bomb mishap! Broken Arrow!" without the quotesBut what if an enemy of the US wanted to find it to learn how to make one themselves? Harry Rubin weaves an interesting novel based on this true story of a Broken Arrow. Harry tells a very detailed account of another search for the lost H-bomb -- before an unknown enemy is able to find it. |
