Imagine if there were a series of events
that nearly caused an intercontinental nuclear war…
and all of it was kept secret for decades.
The Able Archers
is a novel based on real events
chronicling how the world nearly came to an end
in the autumn of 1983.
Brian Morra’s first-hand experience in many of the
incredible events described in The Able Archers
puts the reader right in the middle of the heart-stopping action.
