Imagine if there were a series of events that nearly caused an intercontinental nuclear war…and all of it was kept secret for decades. 

The Able Archers is a novel based on real events chronicling how the world nearly came to an end in the autumn of 1983. 

Brian Morra’s first-hand experience in many of the incredible events described in The Able Archers puts the reader right in the middle of the heart-stopping action.

US Air Force Captain Kevin Cattani and Soviet GRU Colonel Ivan Levchenko team up in the fall of 1983 to stop the worst nuclear crisis of the Cold War. The crisis begins with the Soviet shootdown of Korean Air Lines flight 007 and escalates when the Soviets’ most advanced missile warning satellites incorrectly detect the launch of multiple nuclear missiles from a US Air Force base in North Dakota. The crisis reaches its crescendo weeks later when NATO kicks off the largest nuclear war exercise (called Able Archer) in the history of the Cold War. Nerve-wracking episodes unfold in locations from Tokyo to Moscow to East Berlin and more. At a time of apocalyptic confrontation, the United States and the Soviet Union rely on Cattani and Levchenko to prevent a global nuclear war.
