Whether it's the "Doomsday Blueprint," a plan for post-apocalyptic life, or Eisenhower's giant bomb shelter, the United States has a variety of plans, ranging from the viable to the ridiculous, to deal with a nuclear or biological attack. THE DOOMSDAY PLAN also looks at NORAD (North American Air Defense Command) and several instances of how very close the United States came to nuclear engagement with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Now in the post-Cold War world, the United States still faces threats, primarily from rogue regimes or terrorist groups. In one of its most frightening discoveries, The Doomsday Plan looks at how vulnerable the U.S. is to a nuclear or biological attack.
