It deals with the situation that arises when one of the richest men in the world, in order to stop the nuclear arms race, builds something like 15 nuclear warheads and plants them, armed, in some of the most important cities in the world. He then threatens to detonate them all if the nuclear powers don't immediately disarm and surrender their warheads to a UN body. It's a very nice optomistic story and is highly recommended.
