USA-s suurendas president Reagan massiliselt kaitsekulutusi, kirjeldas Nõukogude Liitu kui „kurjuse impeeriumi“ ja kuulutas välja oma „Tähesõdade“ programmi, kutsudes üles ehitama kosmosekilpi, et kaitsta USA-d saabuvate rakettide eest. Paranoiline Nõukogude Liidu juht Juri Andropov nägi seda kõike Ameerika agressiooni märkidena ja veenis end, et USA kavatses tegelikult Nõukogude Liitu rünnata. Ta pani KGB valvsusse otsima märke peatsest tuumarünnakust. Kui Nõukogude hävitaja tulistas alla Korea Air Linesi lennu KAL 007 pärast kursilt kõrvalekaldumist tundliku Nõukogude sõjaväeala kohal, kirjeldas president Reagan seda kui „terroriakti“ ja „inimsusevastast kuritegu“. Temperatuur tõusis kiiresti. Seejärel, pinge haripunktis, alustas NATO sõjamängu nimega Able Archer 83. Selle harjutuse käigus taotles NATO luba kasutada koode tuumarelvade väljalaskmiseks. Närvilised nõukogude võimule suunatud inimesed veensid end, et see pole mingi õppus, vaid päris asi. See on erakordne ja suuresti tundmatu külma sõja lugu spioonidest ja topeltagentidest, rakettide ettevalmistamisest, luure ebaõnnestumistest, arusaamatustest ja maailma juhtide paanikast. Ligipääsuga sadadele erakordsetele uutele dokumentidele, mis on äsja USA-s avaldatud, saab Taylor Downing esimest korda jutustada haarava, kuid tõelise loo sellest, kui lähedal maailm 1983. aastal tuumasõja äärele jõudis \u003ci\u003e. „1983: Maailm äärel“\u003c\/i\u003e on tõsieluline põnevik.","brand":"Taylor Downing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51111660683606,"sku":"9781408710531","price":30.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9781408710531.jpg?v=1755842159"},{"product_id":"spies-in-the-sky-little-brown-book-group-9780349123400-the-secret-battle-for-aerial-intelligence-during-world-war-ii-taylor-downing","title":"Spies In The Sky","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscover the captivating narrative of \"Spies In The Sky\" by Taylor Downing, now available in paperback.
