VIDEO: John LaForge discusses “Nuclear Heartland, Revised Edition”
The original Nuclear Heartland featured the first-ever publicly available maps and road directions to remote, unguarded missile sites and to their Launch Control Centers. The revised edition has updated maps, improved directions, and photos of the three remaining fields.
