About this ebook

On July 16, 1945, the 'Trinity' Test effectively brought about the transformation of the 'American Prometheus' into the 'Destroyer of Worlds' along with an expedited dawn of the nuclear age as the Laws of Physics were successfully reappraised by the Homo Sapiens. However, the initial premise and the hopeful promise of the creation of a 'Super Weapon' to end all wars has remained more or less a chimera for humanity even after 7+ decades of its genesis.

 

The dawn of the nuclear age; following Trinity and the subsequent atomic bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki; unleashed the Cold War-era with nuclear weapons effectively becoming the 'Hanging Sword of Damocles', as famously described by JFK, with the possibility of a potential nuclear catastrophe by accident, miscalculation or madness staying as a very real possibility throughout and the extinction of Homo Sapiens from planet Earth, just a matter of seconds, which fortunately was somehow averted on multiple occasions and humanity, somehow, managed to survive.

 

Part 1 of this multi-part book series focuses on the evolution of atomic age from its genesis at Los Alamos during World War II till 1960. It covers the subsequent spread of nuclear weapons to Soviet Union and other regional powers based in Europe, namely, the U.K. & France and the transition from nuclear to thermonuclear age for the mankind against the backdrop of Cold War; based on recently declassified documents by the CIA , the U.S. State Department, KGB (after the end of Cold War in the 1990s decade) and other international agencies; thereby, unraveling multiple, tightly-held secrets and lesser known facets of the nuclear age in the process... 

 

Marx had said long ago, "History repeats itself twice, first as tragedy and second as farce." The tragedy of the atomic age is way behind us, in form, of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. However, let's brace up for the farce now...

 

P.S. The limited time special price for this e-book is to support Nuclear Threat Initiative's (NTI) latest 'Make Nuclear Weapons History' Campaign and in the wake of  Oppenheimer movie's 7 Oscar Wins...
