Minuteman: A Technical History of the Missile That Defined American Nuclear Warfare

Item as described, rec'd promptly, well packed in new condition.

He recibido el libro semanas antes de la fecha prevista y en excelente estado. Debo decir que estoy muy satisfecho con el libro y, en general, con el servicio recibido.

Très informatif sur le programme Minuteman. Très Détaillé

I have been a big fan of missiles for many years. This book is so technologically detailed I've ever read. Detailed enough to make your head spin like the gyroscope in the guidance bay because I could tell that the author worked so hard on writing those books and made sure he left nothing out. The money I spend on it was worth it. Keep up the good work so I hope to see more of his books. I have another of his book, "Titan II" so it was well worth my time reading it. Don't let two of his books "Titan II" and "Minuteman" vanished from your library due to unobtainability. I know you'll regret big time if you allow those books to be gone. In addition, your head could explode like those 9-megaton W53 or 1.2-megaton W56 warheads when you find you're unable to obtain them. Get them while they’re still around. What’s more, they’ll be priceless enough to make your wallet light as a feather and see it flying away.

Like the other book by this author covering the Titan II, this book is a thorough and highly detailed volume about the Minuteman ICBM. Everything from events leading up to it's design, to it's manufacturing and construction of it's launch and control facilities, basing/deployment, and details of it's design and features is covered in this book. (So much info is presented that I'm surprised that some of the info here is not considered to be classified information.) As the title states, it is a technical work that may be challenging for someone without a knowledge of aeronautical engineering and rocket science to fully grasp in some places, but for one with a basic understanding of the overall concepts involved and with a keen interest in the design and history of the Minuteman system and US strategic nuclear weapons systems, this is a treasure trove of written information, diagrams and rarely seen photos.
