The Atomic Times: My H-Bomb Years at the Pacific Proving Ground Book
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable SHOCKING, FUNNY, SAD AND RAUNCHYThe biggest and baddest of America’s atmospheric nuclear weapons test series, Redwing mixed saber rattling with mad science, while overlooking its cataclysmic human, geopolitical and ecological effects. But mostly, Redwing just messed with guys’ heads.“A gripping memoir...Leavened by humor, loyalty and pride of accomplishment, this book is a tribute to the resilience, courage and patriotism of the American soldier.” â?? Henry Kissinger“One of the best books I've ever read! Destined to become a classic.”â?? John G. Stoessinger, Ph.D., winner of the Bancroft Prize for International Affairs, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, former Acting Director for the Political Affairs Division at the U.N.“Shockingly honest...Deeply personal and politically profound.”â?? Sen. Charles Schumer“Hard to put down...Touching, horrifying and uproariously funny.”â?? Dr. Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University“Brilliantly conceived, elegantly rendered and persuasively authentic.”â?? Robert B. Parker, author of the Spenser and Jesse Stone series“An entertaining read in the bloodline of Catch-22, Harris achieves the oddest of victories: a funny, optimistic story about the H-bomb.”â?? Publishers Weekly“Absurd and terrifying....Bored, frightened, angry, and sexually frustrated, the men turn cruel, violent and suicidal. Harris' frank and disturbing descriptions of the criminally irresponsible proceedings on Eniwetok and the physical and mental pain he and others endured constitute shocking additions to atomic history.” â??
