The highly acclaimed Netflix series Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War premiered in early 2024. I was privileged to appear extensively in episode five of the series, “War Games,” which focused on the great Soviet Nuclear War Crisis of 1983. Despite recent television coverage of the 1983 confrontation, most people think of 1962’s Cuban Missile Crisis when considering nuclear confrontation during the Cold War.

I am a massive fan of historic fiction; it is a fantastic way of bringing the past to life. It depends on the author how heavily they lean on the historic part or the fiction part. Some books are thinly disguised pseudo fantasy held together by a whisper of historic accuracy, while others read like real stories, that happen to be told by fictional characters. Brian J. Morra’s The Righteous Arrows follows the realistic approach to recent history.

Who can you trust when a cold war heats up and conflict seems inevitable? After collaborating to thwart nuclear war in The Able Archers, Kevin Cattani and his Soviet counterpart, Ivan Levchenko, developed a deep mutual respect-but in The Righteous Arrows they are working against each other. Cattani, despite serious misgivings, conducts a perilous covert mission inside a Soviet bunker and barely escapes with his life, putting himself on a collision course with Levchenko.
