A Short History Of Nuclear Folly : Mad Scientists, Dithering Nazis, Lost Nukes, and Catastrophic Cover-Ups (9781612193304)



In the spirit of Dr. Strangelove and The Atomic Café, a blackly sardonic people's history of atomic blunders and near-misses revealing the hushed-up and forgotten episodes in which the great powers gambled with catastrophe Rudolph Herzog, the acclaimed author of Dead Funny, presents a devastating account of history's most irresponsible uses of nuclear technology. From the rarely-discussed nightmare of "Broken Arrows" (40 nuclear weapons lost during the Cold War) to "Operation Plowshare" (a proposal to use nuclear bombs for large engineering projects, such as a the construction of a second Panama Canal using 300 H-Bombs), Herzog focuses in on long-forgotten nuclear projects that nearly led to disaster. In an unprecedented people's history, Herzog digs deep into archives, interviews nuclear scientists, and collects dozens of rare photos. He explores the "accidental" drop of a Nagasaki-type bomb on a train conductor's home, the implanting of plutonium into patients' hearts, and the invention of wild tactical nukes, including weapons designed to kill enemy astronauts. Told in a riveting narrative voice, Herzog--the son of filmmaker Werner Herzog--also draws on childhood memories of the final period of the Cold War in Germany, the country once seen as the nuclear battleground for NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries, and discusses evidence that Nazi scientists knew how to make atomic weaponry . . . and chose not to.

Das erste Leben der Angela M. (3492055818)

Die Autoren interviewten Zeitzeugen und recherchierten in Archiven über dieses erste Leben der Angela Merkel. Sie belegen, dass die Bundeskanzlerin in ihren politischen Ehrgeiz nicht erst im Zuge der Wende entdeckte. Als Angehörige der sowjetisch geprägten Wissenschaftselite des SED-Staates war sie zielbewusst und system-konform. Unter dem Eindruck von Gorbatschows Glasnost und Perestroika trat sie dann als Reformkommunistin für einen demokratischen Sozialismus in einer eigenständigen DDR ein. Und doch war sie nur fünfzehn Monate nach dem Mauerfall Bundesministerin im wiedervereinigten kapitalistischen Deutschland. Ralf Georg Reuth und Günter Lachmann zeigen, wie dieses erste Leben ihr zweites als CDU-Vorsitzende und Bundeskanzlerin mitbestimmt, bis heute. Product details Format Paperback ...
