"Thomas E. Alexander was among 20,000 military service personnel ordered into the Strategic Air Command, formed in 1946 as US military and political leaders began to understand the growing nuclear threat posed by Stalin's USSR. Alexander served in this elite force for a number of years, designed as a primary deterrent to Soviet military ambitions. Alexander presents "an honest and reflective account of the impact the Cold War had on individuals who were then on the front lines of defense-like it or not." Dan Utley says of Alexander's narrative, "The story of an ordinary individual in extraordinary times has value ... These are stories Tom Alexander has waited much of his life to share with others, but they are as rich as the day they occurred.""--
