Book Synopsis Survive the Bomb by : Eric G. Swedin
Download or read book Survive the Bomb written by Eric G. Swedin and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the American government’s Cold War national defense measures and public communications regarding protection from nuclear disaster. The launch of Russia’s Sputnik satellite in 1957 began an era where American citizens were haunted by fears of annihilation. Baby Boomers will remember Bert the Turtle, who instructed them how to “duck and cover.” Survive the Bomb documents other U.S. government efforts to calm the collective psyche with nuclear survival handouts. These cheerful and naïve representations unintentionally inspired countless schoolchildren to question authority at an early age. This strange era reached its peak in 1962 with the Cuban Missile Crisis, lasting at least until the fall of the Berlin Wall. The nightmare still lingers today with the terrorist threat of dirty bombs and efforts by countries like Iran and North Korea to build their own nuclear arsenals. In addition to Civil Defense brochures and pamphlets from the period, Survive the Bomb includes: · Aftermath descriptions and casualty estimates at various distances from a nuclear blast · Civil Defense reports and recommendations to the United States Congress and President · Declassified nuclear wargame scenarios where the Department of Defense imagined the unimaginable · An introduction and commentaries by Cold War historian Eric G. Swedin
Download or read book Survival City written by Tom Vanderbilt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the road to Survival City, Tom Vanderbilt maps the visible and invisible legacies of the cold war, exhuming the blueprints for the apocalypse we once envisioned and chronicling a time when we all lived at ground zero. In this road trip among ruined missile silos, atomic storage bunkers, and secret test sites, a lost battleground emerges amid the architecture of the 1950s, accompanied by Walter Cotten’s stunning photographs. Survival City looks deep into the national soul, unearthing the dreams and fears that drove us during the latter half of the twentieth century. “A crucial and dazzling book, masterful, and for me at least, intoxicating.”—Dave Eggers “A genuinely engaging book, perhaps because [Vanderbilt] is skillful at conveying his own sense of engagement to the reader.”—Los Angeles Times “A retracing of Dr. Strangelove as ordinary life.”—Greil Marcus, Bookforum

Following the narratives of six individuals, the book traces the shape of a disaster and the heroics it prompted, including that of David Chumreonlert, a Texan with Thai roots, trapped in his school's gymnasium with hundreds of students and teachers as it begins to flood, and Taro Watanabe, who thought nothing of returning to the Fukushima plant to fight the nuclear disaster, despite the effects that he knew would stay with him for the rest of his life. This is a beautifully written and moving account from Lucy Birmingham and David McNeill of how the Japanese experienced one of the worst earthquakes in history and endured its horrific consequences.

Book Synopsis Nuclear Road Trip by : Barbara Billig
Download or read book Nuclear Road Trip written by Barbara Billig and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorists are alive and well, busy with their sabotage of the United States, the country they expect to take over for themselves. A target city has been selected. A plan is in place. They are certain they can far surpass what happened to the twin towers in New York City on 9/11. Meanwhile one of the oldest nuclear power plants in the US has a major radiation leak. The power plant company does not want to reveal the severity of the accident. A cover-up is devised which shuts the plant down, but the inspectors, headed by John Rockford, are not to arrive for two weeks. The news has been reporting that nothing major has happened. The cover-up begins as the inspectors are ordered to take two-week vacation before arriving at the damaged nuclear plant. Four of these young scientists decide to use their vacation time to take a road trip down Route 66, heading toward a location outside of Chicago proper. In route, they discover it is now a well-traveled road, with much to offer. They make stops along the way, sitting upon the world's largest rocking chair, visiting with armadillos, and generally amusing themselves as they get to know each other. Valeria and Travis are in the back seat of John's SUV. Aadhil is up front by John. Bear- Lee-a-Dog sits wherever he can. Tressa, the fifth nuclear scientist, a gorgeous tall blond who lives in Northern California, decides to take a more direct approach, and travels a different route. She stops along the way and meets up with a variety of people, some who seem to be planning foreboding things. Everyone meets in Chicago before their vacations are at an end, and spend time sightseeing there. After playing, they catch up on the news being reported about the radiation leak. Suspicions arise and begin to be discussed among them that these news stories are false. They decide to end their vacation early and go to the plant. The aged Morristown Nuclear Power Plant is the same type of plant as the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan; it, too, had a boiling water reactor. While they tour the plant, they discover the plant is fraught with malfunctions and gross deterioration from an utter lack of proper maintenance. Some of the dangers can even be seen by the naked eye. Why has this occurred? It seems the money for the plant has not been well-spent or not spent on maintenance at all. The group realizes their own safety is on the line in this catastrophe-in-the-making. The sooner they are done with their inspection, and have given their recommendations in writing, the faster they can leave the area. They feel the vacation was a ruse, and begin to work long shifts, continuing to find an alarming number of issues at hand, most of which could not be ignored any longer. It does not matter what the owner, Pancorp, or Erich, the Plant Manager think. Life becomes very interesting and eventful, fraught with disaster as everyone struggles for the outcome each desires. Also, it seems there might be a traitor among them. Theirs is a saga of cover-ups, intrigue, espionage, sabotage and terrorism; theirs is the future of what will happen should terrorists attack a Nuclear Reactor Power Plant, and how individuals are torn asunder and pulled back together.
