Clancy explained in the afterword that he purposely left out a few key items in the revival recipe, but that, with the proper funding and expertise, his plan would be little more than a trivial exercise.
And I gotta think that, between A.Q Khan and some of the stuff floating around from the former Soviet arsenal, this can't be such a far-fetched scenario.
