Review
Reviews from Goodreads:
Sarah rated it a three star and had this to say, "Though the book gets a little technical than I really appreciated in a couple places, I found it an easy read overall and I also learned a lot about the U.S.A.'s nuclear program. Loeber also seemed to have a very reasonable perspective about the whole issue."
Lance rated with four stars and had this to say, "Very good history of the Nuclear program and how it came to be where it is today.""
Reviews from Goodreads.com
Devin Elliott gave this book a 4-star (****) out of a 5-star rating on Goodreads.com. He also had this to say about this print publication: "A great read on the history and technical aspects of the Nuclear Weapons Complex and the duties it has and had throughout the years. Loeber provides several diagrams, graphics, and explanations on the average reader who might not be so educated in nuclear arms and history like he is, so it's extremely helpful on his end. If you're looking to read about the history of nukes, this is a great starting point! "
