About this book
Theodore Taylor was known as one of the most brilliant yet widely unknown engineers of the nuclear age. In his later years, he became concerned by the possibility of an individual able to create a weapon of mass destruction on their own. In this book, McPhee tours American nuclear institutions with Taylor and reveals how close we are to terrorist attacks using homemade nuclear weaponry.
First line
To many people who have participated professionally in the advancement of the nuclear age, it seems not just possible but more and more apparent that nuclear explosions will again take place in cities.
First Edition Identification
This book was first published in 1974 by Farrar Straus & Giroux, New York. Released in hardcover octavo, 231 pages, the dust jacket has black and white print, and boards in red/brown cloth with gold print.
