One Point Safe describes the safety standard which all American nuclear weapons must meet. It means that in the event of an accident there is a million to one chance of the incidient producing a nuclear explosion with a yield equivalent greater than 4 lbs of TNT. Told in a journalistic style this is the alarming story of post communist Russia's poorly guarded and controlled stockpiles of atomic materials. This book inspired the 1997 film "The Peacemaker" starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman.
