“This is a story of a battle.  A battle fought in the skies over the Arctic and over Russia, on an American Strategic Air Command Base, and in the minds of men.  Its duration was only two hours.
It isa chaotic story, because battles usually are chaotic.  It is a pitiless, cruel story, because pitilessness and cruelty are inherent qualities of battle, and especially a battle fought out with modern nuclear weapons.
Most important of all, it is a story which could happen.  It may even be happening as you read these words.  And then it really will be two hours of doom...”
