- Summary:
- On George Washington's Birthday, February 22nd in 1974, Sam Lovejoy toppled a 500-foot weather tower in Montague, Massachusetts. The tower had been erected by the local utility as part of their attempt to build one of the largest nuclear power plants ever planned. Lovejoy's Nuclear War presents a cross-section of views about nuclear power, civil disobedience, and the politics of energy that were drawn together by Lovejoy's sabotage and the trial that followed it. Step by step, it traces the path left by the shock wave of the falling tower: from the streets of this small Connecticut River Valley town to the marble hallways of the Atomic Energy Commission.
