About this Item
Bradley, David. No place to hide. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1948. First edition. An Atlantic Monthly Press Book. Hardback, VG, no dustjacket. Beige cloth with medallion illustration to front, gilt lettering to spine, a little faded. Binding strong. xviii, 182pp. Contents clean and bright. The book is a Harvard Medical School graduate's autobiographical tale of his work in the Radiological Safety Section in the Pacific in the aftermath of the Bikini atomic bomb tests, Operation Crossroads. The book alerted the world to the dangers of radioactive fallout from nuclear weapon explosions. The book was marketed for Bantam by Judith Merril, who found Bradley's prose "a man's book with little appeal for women", leading her to later write her own nuclear war story Shadow on the Hearth from the homemaker's perspective. Bradley toured lecturing on the dangers of fallout, including a 1950 lecture at Ford Hall Forum. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
