A Cold War Memoir from Nuclear Crisis to Senior Federal Law Enforcement Officer is a true Cold War memoir about duty, faith, and the cost of service. From rural Somerset, Texas, to top secret nuclear sites and global investigations, Bob Hicks shows how character can outrank rank.

When a Minuteman warhead accident at Lima 2 threatens disaster, his quiet motto becomes real: “Failure is not an option.” Later, leading explosive ordnance disposal and OSI investigations, he learns that “courage and integrity outweigh any other qualifications.”

This military memoir gives readers an inside look at nuclear weapons, national security, terrorism cases, and contractor fraud, but its moral runs deeper: the hardest battles are balancing country, conscience, and family; and choosing to do the right thing when no one is watching.
