The Able Archers

De: Brian J. Morra

Narrado por: James Fouhey, Daniel Gamburg

In 1983, the world stands at the brink of nuclear annihilation, and only a few people are aware of it. A riveting story of how two men’s lives intersect in the midst of an existential crisis, The Able Archers is told through the eyes of two key participants: a young American intelligence officer, Captain Kevin Cattani, and his more experienced Soviet counterpart, Colonel Ivan Levchenko.

The story plays out from the skies over Siberia to the gritty, dangerous streets of East Berlin. The radically different world views of Cattani and Levchenko punctuate the deep divisions of the Cold War. The evolving relationship between the two men also highlights the humanity common to both sides. Only by working together will Cattani and Levchenko find a way to prevent a global nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Great

For me, it was a part of history I lived. The carrier group in the Sea of O reminded me of Ranger sneaking up the west coast of Korea and starting air ops just after the Pueblo was taken. Sure miss the days of being able to sneak a carrier group up towards an adversary

Amazing!

I don’t normally read books like this, but holy cow! Exciting interested in exploring more like this.

How madness can be contagious....

God forbid!! Only he knows what else we have no idea of, and what else his grace has spared us from... Thank you good good Father!!!

Fascinating story

I thought this book might be difficult to read because of all the names and technical terms. Instead, I found that the character development made each role memorable. I think it reads like a thriller screenplay. The dialogue is very believable, and the narrator does a good job at differentiating voices. I would love to read more by the same author it’s fast moving and I couldn’t put it down.

Great read about flight 007 big shot down in 1983

This book truly details how close we came to nuclear war after the downing of the Korean flight 007 in 1983. If not for the work of the Abel archers the world, as we know, it would have been a nuclear waste.
