Stories from the Cold War

I am starting a category of arms control wonk public service announcements. Today’s comes from Joel Wit, who is looking for stories from the Cold War:

I am starting an archive of reminiscences about the U.S.-Soviet nuclear confrontation during the Cold War. The archive will focus on the ordinary people who were part of that struggle. Personal stories are welcome from military and civilian personnel who served in the Strategic Air Command, the nuclear submarine force, war planning, theaters such as Europe, at nuclear weapons laboratories, in intelligence (overhead/space recon, Moscow station and special forces), and in nuclear arms control negotiations. If you have interesting, funny, sad, scary or any other tales to tell, please contact joelwit [AT] earthlink.net.
