Pressing the Button: 'Fat, dumb and happy'

from Atomic Hobo - Nuclear War Podcast

More on Truman and sole presidential authority, and why did Curtis LeMay say he would refuse to be 'fat, dumb and happy' if America got nuked? As with last week's episode on Truman, I must acknowledge the brilliant new book by Alex Wellerstein called The Most Awful Responsibility.
