Critical thinking about the dangers posed by nuclear weapons, the necessity of arms control, and the consequences of nuclear war has never been more urgently needed. Highway to Hell: The Armageddon Chronicles, 2015-2024 affords the reader a comprehensive insight into these critical issues as they were unfolding, free of the circumspection and narrative management of conventional histories.

“Dante Alighieri described a fictional Perdition in The Inferno.  Scott Ritter knows that failure to put down nuclear weapons truly sets us on The Highway to Hell.  An urgent read requiring urgent action. —DENNIS J. KUCINICH, Former U.S. Congressman and 2004, 2008 Democratic candidate for President.  

“Scott Ritter has done it again. Another great read. As a former Command Chief of Space Command, the command which had the responsibility of our land based nuclear arsenal, I have seen up and close what nuclear weapons can do. I think we should take heed to what Scott has documented. Anyone who cares about the survival of our planet should read this remarkable chronicle.” DENNIS FRITZ, Director, Eisenhower Media Network and Former Command Chief of Space Command
