Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. x, [4], 425, [7] pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Embossed seal impression on first two feps. Gregg Herken is an American historian and museum curator who is Professor Emeritus of History at University of California, Merced. His scholarship mostly concerns the history of the development of atomic energy and the Cold War. During 1988-2003 he was senior historian and curator at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. In 2003, his book Brotherhood of the Bomb, for which he received a MacArthur Grant to write, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in history. Herken received his B.A. from University of California, Santa Cruz in 1969 and his Ph.D. in modern American diplomatic history from Princeton University in 1974. He subsequently held teaching positions at California State University, San Luis Obispo, Oberlin College, Yale University, and California Institute of Technology, and was a Fulbright-Hays senior research scholar at Lund University. He also served on the U.S. government's Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments during 1994-95. Derived from a Kirkus review: The political considerations surrounding the decision to drop the first atomic bomb--and then to try and keep anyone else from having one--have been fertile ground for revisionist historians. Now Yale historian Herken has his say. Herken thinks the bomb would have fallen on Hiroshima regardless of Soviet actions in Manchuria, so it wasn't solely intended as a warning to Moscow. But unlike some of his colleagues, Herken portrays Truman as unsure about how to use the bomb diplomatically, and wavering while his advisors fought it out. Largely swayed by the misinformation supplied by General Leslie Groves, head of the Manhattan Project, which gave the impression of prolonged US superiority in atomic weaponry (misinformation based, in turn, on Groves' erroneous assumption of an American monopoly of weapons-grade uranium and of the required engineering capability), Washington opted finally to keep the bomb to itself rather than to use it as a bargaining chip to change the direction of Soviet politics. But the US atomic-bomb monopoly also made possible the use of future international cooperation as a diplomatic lever--specifically, in the hands of Bernard Baruch at the UN. But, Herken argues, the mistaken assumptions surrounding maintenance of the atomic "secret" also doomed the bomb as a diplomatic tool at the UN. Finally, the sudden awareness that the calculations had been wrong all along--which came with the Soviet's own successful bomb test--prompted the US, in 1950, to embark on a policy of further escalation toward development of the hydrogen bomb. Herken adds much that is helpful, especially regarding the central role of Groves. He has also integrated the sensational spy cases of the period into a coherent picture of the simultaneous rise of the atomic age and the "national security state" which is, finally, far superior to others. Herken's measured analysis of government documents and diaries, together with the concentration on secrecy, makes this the leader of a fast pack. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
