Hersh may well be right about this (who knows?), but I can't take reading such apolcalyptic stuff with such consistency.
I don't think Hersh says much in those pieces that Fallows didn't say in the two pieces he's written in The Atlantic about the same subject.

OK, there is that bit about how the civilians at the top of DOD were pushing for planning re the use of tactical nuclear weapons. That was a little disturbing. I haven't seen anyone deny it, unfortunately.
