Cover has some wear and soiling. Staplebound. Part of a series of information papers on topics associated with nuclear weapons, principally designed for use by Tradoc School instructors and major command staff officers. The series of papers, "Nuclear Notes," prepared by the US Army Nuclear Agency was intended to clarify and explain various aspects of nuclear weapons phenomenology and usage. These papers are prepared in as non-technical fashion as the subject matter permits. They are oriented toward an audience assumed to be responsible for teaching or in some way evaluating the actions and techniques of employing nuclear weapons in a conflict situation. The intent of this nuclear not was to provide a simple text to provide a basic understanding of the importance of nuclear weapons on the battlefield for the soldier and officer, who has not received formal training in the capabilities of nuclear weapons available to the tactical commander. This nuclear note should put into perspective nuclear effects ad they pertain to the modern battlefield. Condition: Good.
