This award-winning collection moves from the dark and technically astonishing title essay—on growing up within the confines of a huge Army arsenal in Ohio—to reflections on mountain hikes, limestone quarries, and fathers teaching their sons.

About the Author:
Scott Russell Sanders is the author of The Paradise of Bombs; Wilderness Plots: Tales About the Settlement of American Land; The Force of Spirit; and Hunting for Hope, among several other works of fiction and nonfiction. He was a distinguished professor of English literature at Indiana University until he retired in 2009. He currently lives with his wife Ruth in Bloomington, Indiana.
From Library Journal:
The essays in this book underscore the theme of humanity's uncertain existence. While exposing the folly of war preparations, the arrogance of power and sophistication, they celebrate family ties, the salutary effects of nature, the virtues of simplicity and self-reliance. Having grown up on a weapons-storage base (the source of the book's title), the author learned early "the truth about our condition." He left the confines of the chain-link fence to climb mountains in Oregon, listen to owls in the Midwest, and frequent limestone quarries in Indiana, experiences he records with warmth and authenticity, with that rare but rewarding correspondence of thought and feeling. This book received the 1986 Associated Writing Programs Award for Creative Nonfiction. Recommended. Carol J. Lichtenberg, Washington State Univ. Lib., Pullman
