In A Nuclear Family Vacation, husband-and-wife journalists Nathan Hodge and Sharon Weinberger hit the open road to explore the secretive world of nuclear weaponry. Along the way, they soon realize their travels are unearthing more questions than answers: why are nuclear weapons still on hair-trigger alert? Is there such a thing as a suitcase nuke? Is Iran really building the bomb? Criss-crossing ten US states and five countries, Hodge and Weinberger visit top-secret locations. Their atomic road trip reveals plans to revitalize the US nuclear arsenal, even as the US government pushes other countries to disarm. Lively, topical and probing, A Nuclear Family Vacation lifts the lid on the uncertain role of nuclear weapons in the modern world and asks if the future is as terrifying as it seems.
