Product Description
Review
Michael Beschloss, Los"Angeles Times[Dark Sun]" demonstrates the same ambition; literary skill; unrelenting research; talent for portraiture; understanding of the links between science, war and politics; willingness to stand up to large historical questions; and sound judgment that distinguished Richard Rhodes's 1988 book, "The Making of the Atomic Bomb." But this is the more important volume, not only because of its influence on the way we think about a half-century of world history, but because the hydrogen bomb continues to cast a shadow on the world today.
Product Description
Tells the story of the making of the H-bomb and reveals how it created a nuclear stalemate that lasted forty years.
