The Doomsday Machines

The Doomsday Machines is a chillingly fascinating bookazine exploring the most terrifying instruments of total destruction ever conceived – and the logic that built them.

From Cold War ICBMs like the Titan II and R-36 to world-ending bombs like the Tsar Bomba, from airborne command centres like the “Doomsday Plane” to the Soviet Union’s still-shadowy “Dead Hand” retaliation system, this is the story of how hypersonic bitzkrieg and nuclear annihilation came to haunt our imagination.

Combining stark imagery, declassified diagrams, lucid technical explanation and strategic context, this title reveals the madness and method behind mankind’s most devastating creations.

It will delve into both East and West, legacy and modern systems, and the enduring relevance of these weapons in today’s increasingly unstable world.
