Reflections of a Nuclear Weaponeer by Frank H. Shelton
First Edition, Second Printing 1988 by Shelton Enterprises. Large Hardcover. From an Amazon review: \" the book contains a wealth of information about his own work from the early 1950s to the last atmospheric tests in 1963, along with additional information about the subsequent underground testing up to 1989.He details each testing event with an excellent summary of the historical context, and goes into substantial detail about each shot, results, and his own thoughts and opinions about the motivations and rationale.It was a wonderful read, and fills in a lot of gaps that other sources just can\'t supply; after all, he was there, and has a far better understanding of the whys and wherefores than someone trying to write about events 30 years later. I found his comments on the high-altitude tests to be extremely valuable, especially as little in the way of first-hand accounts is available anywhere else. Sometimes it\'s too easy for people today to just dismiss a lot of the \"goofy-sounding\" test programs; the context was very different back then.The book is beautifully printed, and includes many gorgeous color photographs. It\'s expensive, but I feel the price is more than justified by the contents and its size.If you have any serious interest in the history of the US nuclear weapons program, you won\'t regret this purchase\"
