1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A sobering look at a insane concept.By buskermanGave it 5 stars because the author explained and gave the reasonand flaws of the Pentomic concept.I bought the book to see if it confirmed what I suspected as perceived flawsand stupid strategy while I served in the Pentomic era.( It Did).Communications were slow between units everything went to the topback down then back up then back down to the original sender.No direct communications with units you supported or supported you.Thinking we would be the only ones using atomic weapons ( If we launched firstthe Russians planned on using up to 2400 war heads in the first few days of the war; 75% were to be used in West Germany)Also believing our ADM.s (Atomic Demolition Mission) would deterthe bad guys with radiation . When in the same breathMustard Gas was no longer an agent of the U.S. arsenalbecause the Russians never picked up their wounded they just kept on coming.But for some reason the Russians would stop and wait for the radiation to clearbefore entering a blast zone.When We changed over to the ROAD concept we could communicatewith our supporting units directly .Our combat group was reduced 40% but still had the same mission.Book shows just how insane the Pentomic concept wasIf it does anything it shows we do not need another cold war with therattling of atomic sabers.
