Thomas A. Bass explores the history, implications, and consequences of nuclear energy and weapons, delving into the environmental, political, and societal impacts of the Atomic Age. The author reflects on his personal connection to nuclear exclusion zones, drawing on his father’s involvement in the Manhattan Project and nuclear industry.
