About this title

Review:

A book holding, with pretty good authority, that tens of thousands of people know enough about the bomb and are close enough to what they don't know to produce a bomb at home . . . The report's art at its difficult best."--Alvin Beam, "The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer "
"Though dwellers in the nuclear age should ponder this book, as much for its intellectual excitement as for its warning."--Edmund Fuller, " The Wall Street Journal "
