Astonishing reading in a bland blue wrapper. Compiled and published in 1977 by the Office of Technology Assessment The Effects of Nuclear Weapons is 600+ pages of Technowarporn. My first read was in high school - a well-thumbed loaner from my insane ex-green beret physics teacher. Later I was given a copy by a now convicted felon geography professor. If you're a lover of informational graphics, or obsessed with dreams of mass destruction the now out-of-print masterpiece is the book for you.
