On The John Batchelor Show, Peter Huessy traces the history and doctrine of so-called “tactical” nuclear weapons, including the 1950s U.S. Desert Rock exercises that deliberately exposed troops to nuclear detonations, the health risks those tests carried, and how they compared with contemporaneous Soviet maneuvers.
