I would include Command and Control on a list of essential nuclear history reading. Specifically US and post WWII but fascinating and enlightening.

I'm not sure why this is downvoted, but its a very good book.
There was also a 2016 movie made of it, but it mostly focused on one event from the book -- the 1980 Titan II missile explosion in Arkansas.
