Sobre IBD

Moments of Madness is a riveting, darkly satirical tour through America’s most bizarre Cold War weapons-real, tested, and sometimes deployed. From backpack nukes and unguided rockets to nuclear depth charges and atomic artillery, Moments of Madness explores the surreal logic behind the U.S. arsenal of deterrence.Moments of Madness is both a technical chronicle and a moral reckoning. It’s not just about weapons-it’s about the mindset that made them possible.Enter the museum. The artifacts are retired. The logic that built them is not.
