Description

First printing of the Forum Books Edition and the first edition in hardcover, printed just months after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Illustrations throughout from photographs, drawings, and diagrams. 8vo, publisher's original burgundy cloth, Forum Books emblem on the upper cover in yellow, the spine lettered in yellow. 251, [1] pp. A nice copy, near fine but for some bumping to the tips and corners.

Edizione: the first hardcover edition of the first published work available to the general public on the atomic bomb. even the trade issue of the 'smyth report' came out after the wrappered issue of this title as published by pocket books. this hardcover issue was released just a few months later.<br> concise yet fairly comprehensive, the atomic age opens contains both a scientific history of the development and deployment of the first a-bombs but also looks ahead to the ramifications of this new "atomic age" for mankind.
