References and Selected Reading. Index. Thomas L. Martin, Jr. 1921-2009 retired after serving as president of Illinois Institute of Technology between 1974 and 1987. Other leadership experiences included Dean of Engineering at the University of Arizona, University of Florida and Southern Methodist University. During World War II he served in the Army and was awarded a Bronze Star. After the war he attended Stanford University where he received his Ph.D. He was a Fellow of IEEE and an honoree in the Hall of Fame of ASEE. Martin's multidimensionality is evidenced by his authorship of eight books including Strategy for Survival, Ultrahigh Frequency Engineering and Electronic Circuits. Donald C. Latham was the first Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence). This was a new position. Mr. Latham has been serving as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense. Previously, he was with the Riverside Research Institute in 1980-1981; division vice president, engineering, at RCA Corp., government systems division, in Moorestown, NJ (1978-1980); director of engineering at Martin Marietta Aerospace, Orlando division, in 1977-1978; Deputy Chief, Office of Microwave, Space, and Mobile Systems, Department of Defense, in 1974-1977; Chief, Engineering Staff, National Security Agency, European Headquarters, in 1971-1974; and at Martin Marietta Aerospace, Orlando division, in 1963-1971. This book was regarded at the time published as a comprehensive summary of available facts on civil defense and thermonuclear war woven together into a coherent picture of the total problem. The authors are engineers who attempt to prove, first, that civil defense preparedness is both necessary and practical and that all of the necessary technical knowledge is available to provide an adequate and economically feasible system of protective shelters; second, that a civil defense system will require a very long time for completion; and third, that although there are many varieties of civil defense situations, there is no situation that cannot be solved by known engineering principles.
