It has a lot of interesting insights, like how the Warsaw Pact logistics system was poorly defended against chemical warfare
Now, my memory is bit fuzzy but if I recall correctly the soviets had contingency plans for attacking NATO airfields with ballistic missiles fitted with chemical warheads. It was found out that that servicing the planes under such conditions slowed down sortie rate considerably. Therefore there was very little enthusiasm for starting chemical warfare by NATO, lest it could trigger such response.
