Dawn over Zero

Rating:
Summary: interesting perspective!
Review: William Laurence was a newspaper reporter, that was one of the first in now what we are used to routinely seeing: a tagalong. Laurence was allowed to tour some of the Nuclear Weapons facilities, interview the key players, and even was present for the dropping of the device on Nagasaki. It is fascinating to listen to a reporter who is pro-nukes, and how he tries to retain secrets that we now all know. The book ends on a positive note, listing the many proposed uses of nuclear power, many of which we see every day, such as nuclear medicine. This is a hard book to find, and a good addition to a nukeheads' shelf.
