This is a great novel, written by a former USAF Strategic Air Command B-58 pilot, on what actions a B-58 crew might have taken if the USA had been actually been attacked by the USSR.This book follows a select B-58 Hustler crew as it trains, responds to a nuclear attack, carries out its assigned mission, and then makes its way back to the US, flying from Asia, to Africa, to South America over a period of almost 2 weeks.Aside from being a really good novel in its own right,  for the student of the Cold War and Strategic Air Command this book a glimpse behind closed doors -from someone who was there- as to how the SAC crews may have carried out their almost certain one way missions and returned to the US.
