Podtitul: Sovětský svaz a jaderná energie 1939-1956 Rozsáhlé, bohatě dokumentované a navíc i velice čtivé dílo z pera význačného amerického politologa irského původu nabízí fascinující pohled na osobnosti a politiku spjaté s vývojem sovětské jaderné pumy.

From the first to the last page you will take a passage toward one of the most profound views of the thoughts and realities as to how a killer thinks; his truths; his idealistic perceptions of the world we share... insights you will never see otherwise. As one reader stated, "At first I wanted to get into his head and see what he sees; now all I want is for him to get out.
