Im currently on chapter 4 of Omertá.
The following is an edited extract from chapter 3 which I thought was interesting:

"At one point in his career Kurt Cilke had been sent to an FBI antiterrorist school. During that time he had access to the most highly classified memoranda and case scenarios on the possible use of nuclear weapons by terrorists from small countries. The files detailed which countries had weapons. Russia, France and England, possibly India and Pakistan. It was assumed that Israel had nuclear capability. Kurt read with fascination scenarios detailing how Israel would use nuclear weapons if an Arab bloc were at the point of overwhelming it.
For the US there were 2 solutions: if Israel were so attacked, the US would side with Israel before it had to use nuclear weapons. Or if Israel could not be saved, the US would have to wipe out Israel's nuclear capability.
England and France were not seen as problems, they could never risk nuclear war.
The most immediate danger was from small countries like IRAQ, Iran, and Libya, WHERE LEADERS WERE RECKLESS, or so the scenarios claimed. The solution here was unanimous. THOSE COUNTRIES WOULD BE BOMBED TO EXTINCTION WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
THE GREATEST SHORT-TERM DANGER WAS THAT TERRORIST ORGANISATIIONS SECRETLY FINANCED AND SUPPORTED BY FOREIGN POWER WOULD SMUGGLE A NUCLEAR WEAPON INTO THE US AND EXPLODE IT IN A LARGE CITY. PROBABLY NEW YORK OR WASHINGTON DC. THIS WAS INEVITABLE.
The proposed solution was the formation of task forces to use counterintelligence and the utmost punitive measures against these terrorists and whoever backed them. It would require special laws that would abridge the rights of American citizens. The scenarios acknowledged the impossibility of these laws until somebody finally succeeded at BLOWING UP A GOOD PORTION OF AN AMERICAN METROPOLIS. Then the laws would pass easily. But until then, as one scenario airily remarked, "It was the luck of the draw".
