`This well-written book will be of great interest to scholars and
students interested in nuclear history and strategy.'

`one of its strengths is its attempt to throw light upon how the
different individuals' views about war and international politics
were fundamentally changed by the development of the bomb ... The
essays in this book offer an interesting new angle on a subject
that has generated an immense amount of literature ... The blend of
biography and nuclear history makes this an interesting and
stimulating study.'
