15 Minutes by L. Douglas Keeney Book Summary
Packed with startling revelations, this inside look at the secret side of the Cold War exposes just how close America came to total annihilation
During the Cold War, a flight crew had 15 minutes to get their nuke-laden plane in the air from the moment Soviet bombers were detected—15 minutes between the earliest warning of an incoming nuclear strike and the first flash of an enemy warhead. This is the chilling true story of the incredibly risky steps our military took to protect us from that scenario, including:
• Over two thousand loaded bombers that crossed American skies. They sometimes crashed and at least nine times resulted in nuclear weapons being accidentally dropped
• A system that would use timers and rockets to launch missiles even after everyone was dead
• Disastrous atmospheric nuclear testing including the horrific runaway bomb—that fooled scientists and put thousands of men in uniform in the center of a cloud of hot fallout
• A plan to use dry lake beds to rebuild and launch a fighting force in the aftermath of nuclear war
Based on formerly classified documents, military records, press accounts, interviews and over 10 years of research, 15 Minutes is one of the most important works on the atom bomb ever written.

Wonderful storytelling of the SAC you never knew. What a fantastic read. Excellent research yields a hard to put down accounting of the Strategic Air Command we've all heard of but, never really knew. Well worth your time and money.
Great book. Very detailed description of SAC, USAF, and leadership during the Cold War. I liked the detail. Very realistic description of what it was like. My father served as B-47 pilot in SAC during Cuban Missile Crisis and we lived on a SAC base w/fallout shelter in our back yard.
