The Problem of Reducing Vulnerability to Atomic Bombs

Descripción

In the wake of the devastation caused by the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Japan, to end WWII, this report was commissioned & prepared under the direction of the Committee on Social and Economic Aspects of Atomic Energy of the Social Science Research Council. Using nontechnical language so as to reach "the whole range of American citizens,'' it was written "not in a defeatist spirit,'' but in hopes of realistically examining the promises & perils of atomic energy. The author was a Navy man who had served in the war & went on to be a Princeton professor. 116 pages.
