Book excerpt: This book is one of honor and patriotism and is a true story. This book tells of one man's many struggles manning three of the United States nuclear missiles. The time period of this epic story takes place during the late 1970s and during the Cold War. The struggle was caused by the many social pressures of the day. The pressures also came from the lack of qualified personnel crewing those missiles. The Cold War was won by the United States due in part to the mighty Pershing missile, without firing a shot!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to replace the Redstone, the Pershing I, 1a and II missiles served for three decades as the U.S. Army's primary nuclear-capable, theater-level weapon. A solid-fueled, two-stage missile capable of Mach 8.0 flight, Pershing I first flew in 1960. Three years later, three missile battalions deployed to West Germany. Pershing I's solid-fueled design offered much greater flexibility and safety than Redstone, and much faster launch response. While Redstone required up to twenty fuel and support vehicles, the Pershing system featured only four. The most important was the transport erector launcher (TEL), which transported the missile and guidance sections, and a carrier that transported the warhead. Once the warhead was mated, the TEL served as launch platform. First deployed in 1969, the improved Pershing Ia featured enhanced electronics and faster support vehicles, allowing it to fulfill a quick reaction alert role. This included a new TEL capable of tilting a horizontal missile to launch position in a mere nine seconds. The follow-on Pershing II system used active radar guidance and a maneuverable re-entry vehicle for enhanced accuracy. It carried the W86 bunker-busting nuclear warhead (5-50 kilotons). Equipped with a self-orienting guidance system, the Pershing II could be delivered to any surveyed site and launched at a target within minutes. It was deployed to Europe and fully operational by 1985. The presence of the Pershing II incentivized strategic negotiations between the Soviet Union and the USA. In October of 1988, after the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, Pershing II missiles were withdrawn from service. Fifteen were preserved for display purposes, with the rest destroyed in compliance with the treaty. Originally created in 1986, this Pershing II Field Manual describes doctrine, techniques, considerations and planning factors to maintain combat readiness and sustain combat operations. This includes discussions of key personnel and the training of sections, platoons, and the battery as a whole.

Download or read book Civil Disobedience and the German Courts written by Peter E. Quint and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-12-17 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s the West German Peace Movement -- fearing that the stationing of NATO nuclear missiles in Germany threatened an imminent nuclear war in Europe -- engaged in massive protests, including sustained civil disobedience in the form of sit-down demonstrations. Civil Disobedience and the German Courts traces the historical and philosophical background of this movement and follows a group of demonstrators through their trials in the German criminal courts up to the German Constitutional Court -- in which their fate was determined in two important constitutional cases. In this context, the volume also analyzes the German Constitutional Court, as a crucial institution of government, in comparative perspective. The book is the first full-length English language treatment of these events and constitutional decisions, and it also places the decisions at an important turning-point in German constitutional history.
