histórias de Palomares

In 1966, a mid-air collision results in a bomb falling near the drought-stricken Spanish village of Palomares. Eduardo Garcia, the local mayor, considers the unexploded bomb a gift from the gods and makes a deal to return it to the USAF in exchange for a new well. Unfortunately, Basque separatists have different ideas. They steal the bomb to use in a plot to assassinate General Franco, unaware that it is a thermonuclear device. Eduardo, with the help of streetwise American sergeant John Delgado, sets out to recover the weapon needed to secure his community's water supply. Oh ... and avert a nuclear disaster. NOTE: This story is fictional but is based on a real event (see Author's Notes).
