Nuclear security

The President has a secret air force in case of nuclear war?

The latest book by journalist Garrett M. Graff sounds like a can’t-miss thriller, but it may not make for great bedside reading — unless you love a good nightmare.

"Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government’s Secret Plan to Save Itself — While the Rest of Us Die" details the extraordinary measures the U.S. government has in place to protect the president and his essential staff in the event of a nuclear holocaust.

Graff — executive director of the Aspen Institute’s cybersecurity and technology program, and former editor of Politico Magazine and Washingtonian — has adapted an excerpt from his book in an article that appears in Politico Magazine this week.
