This book was written in conjunction with the 50th anniversary commemoration of the Nevada Test Site, and represents a unique partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy's Nevada Operations Office (which provided the initial impetus for the project), the Office of Defense Programs of the Department's National Nuclear Security Administration (which provided funding for printing the history), and the History Division of the Department's Executive Secretariat (which researched and wrote the history). Gosling was a former Chief Historian for the Department of Energy and Fehner succeeded him into that position. The contents include a description and early history of the Nevada Test Site, the birth of the nuclear age, the search for a Continental Test Site, The Ranger Series, and the Legacy of the Nevada Test Site.
