I just finished the non-fiction book "The Day We Lost the H-Bomb" by Barbara Moran on my Nook/Kindle.

This book is about one of the worst Nuclear Weapons Disaster, the US SAC's B-52 (with 4 thermo-nuclear bombs on board) and a KC-135 tanker colliding with each other while midair refueling over Palomares, Spain on 17th January 1966 during the Cold War.

While the book explains the recovery of H-Bombs by US, the author also filled in the history of SAC formation during and after the Second World War. More of a history kind of book but informative.

Currently I am reading "The Angry Hills" by Leon Uris.
