Illustrations. Notes. For Further Reading. Index. Richard Lawrence Garwin (born April 19, 1928) is an American physicist, widely known to be the author of the first hydrogen bomb design. After graduating from the University of Chicago, Garwin joined the physics faculty there and spent summers as a consultant to Los Alamos National Laboratory working on nuclear weapons. Garwin was the author of the actual design used in the first hydrogen bomb in 1952. He was assigned the job by Edward Teller, with the instructions that he was to make it as conservative a design as possible in order to prove the concept. He also worked on the development of the first spy satellites, for which he was named one of the ten founders of national reconnaissance. He was the catalyst for the discovery and publication of the Cooley–Tukey FFT algorithm, today. He worked on gravitational waves. He has been granted 47 patents and has published over 500 papers. In December 1952, he joined IBM's Watson laboratory, where he worked continuously until 1993. He is currently IBM Fellow Emeritus at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center. Garwin served on the U.S. President's Science Advisory Committee from 1962–65 and 1969–72. He has been a member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group since 1966. He chaired the Arms Control and Nonproliferation Advisory Board of the U.S. Department of State. He served on the Defense Science Board. He also served on the Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States in 1998. More

Gormley was a recognized expert on arms control and weapons of mass destruction proliferation—and a leading specialist in particular on cruise missile proliferation. His career spans back to the 1960s, when he was an officer in the U.S. Army. He has since worked in the U.S. intelligence community, and held various positions in academia. His work has focused on international security, arms control, and weapons proliferation issues. Starting in 1969, he served as Chief of Foreign Intelligence at the Harry Diamond Laboratories for ten years, where he pioneered investigation of the Soviet nuclear weapon logistic and nuclear command and control systems, substantially influencing intelligence warning and targeting programs. Mr. Gormley served as James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) Senior Fellow during the early 2000s. Among his important contributions to the nonproliferation field are Missile Contagion: Cruise Missile Proliferation and the Threat to International Security (Praeger, 2008) and A Low Visibility Force Multiplier: Assessing China’s Cruise Missile Ambitions (National Defense University, 2014, with Andrew S. Erickson and Jingdong Yuan). His articles have appeared in numerous scholarly publications, including the CNS peer-reviewed journal, the Nonproliferation Review. More

New York: Public Affairs, 2001. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxxii, 430, [2] pages. Illustrations. Cast of Characters. Chronology. Glossary. Notes. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. The author is a longtime military and foreign affairs correspondent for The Washington Post. Graham had a distinguished career with the Washington Post as a reporter and editor, focusing primarily on foreign and national security affairs. He is also the author of two books — Hit to Kill, an account published in 2001 of renewed U.S. efforts to build a national missile defense system, and By His Own Rules, a biography of Donald Rumsfeld. The author argues that the United States has no way of preventing a nuclear missile attack upon its territory; thus, this is the story of the "frustratingly elusive dream" of creating a nationwide antimissile system that all presidents since Johnson have pursued. Graham focuses on the Clinton administration, but in doing so, he uncovers the broader complexities and pitfalls of creating an antimissile system. More

Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1961. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. 192 pages. 230 photographs. Front board weak and restrengthened with glue. Some pencil underlining noted. Name in ink inside cover. Format is approximately 7.25 inches by 10.5 inches. One of Hunter's best-known books is "The Missilemen", a photo illustrated work published in 1960 by Doubleday. Hunter visited U.S. rocket and missile sites during the late 1950s; he took all of the book's black-and-white photographs. It was a rare look inside the world of rocket scientists and engineers of the early space age. Another Hunter book, "Strategic Air Command", received the Aviation Writers' Association highest honors in 1961. "Mel launched a career in scientific illustration after he was an established illustrator," said Smith-Hunter. "He was very accurate and was commissioned to complete 26 paintings of celestial objects for the Hayden Planetarium in New York City. His final wish was to launch his cremated remains into space. A launch, coordinated by Space Services Inc. was successful. More

Robert Hutchinson began his career as a reporter, working first for regional newspapers, then for the Press Association, a news agency serving the media of Ireland and the United Kingdom. In time, he became a defense correspondent. Later, he joined the staff of Jane's Publishing, and he eventually became the director of the company's information group. He was responsible for its books, magazines, digital content and other publications. After leaving the company's staff, he went on to edit and revise Jane's Warship Recognition Guide, and he also wrote Jane's Submarines: War beneath the Waves: From 1776 to the Present Day. When Tom Lehrer sang 'We'll all go together when we go', the world was gripped by fear of nuclear holocaust. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the threat was assumed to have gone away. But Libya, Iraq, Iran and North Korea and others are building weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, biological and chemical. And terrorists are trying to get their hands on them too. The next live Scud missile launch could signal the next Hiroshima. Russia has enough weapons grade plutonium in poorly guarded facilities to make 20,000 atomic bombs. Osama bin Laden only needs one. Chemical weapons remain the 'poor man's nuke'. Saddam believed his chemical weapons saved him in the first Gulf War. Islamic fundamentalists have been preparing to use ricin for mass poisoning in London. Robert Hutchinson's measured account provides a straightforward guide to the weapons that threaten civilization.
