Almost entire article based on Bracken's analysis of it?

I'm wondering if that makes the article qualified for the single source template. I'm particularly concerned that Bracken makes a number of bold statements about the wargame's outcome but the outcomes and the timeline of the scenario listed in the report has not been declassified. I'm doubtful Bracken would still be a free man if he had used classified information to write his book which make me suspect his statements are bogus. 118.211.44.190 (talk) 04:04, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've been reading through the article and I agree with this three year old take on the matter. Some very bold statements are made despite the fact the exercise is still very classified. I'd like to clean it up myself but that's a pretty serious endeavour. Kylesenior (talk) 13:03, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- A new, pointed perspective may be offered (to remedy the concerns mentioned immediately above) via an article published today in the New York Times, written by William Langewiesche. For example, the subtitle summarizes Proud Prophet's impact more concisely: "The devastating outcome of the 1983 game reveals that nuclear escalation inevitably spirals out of control." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/magazine/nuclear-strategy-proud-prophet.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.17.243.105 (talk) 01:40, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
