Praise forRed Cloud at DawnThis is a book full of great details . . . [A] fine, thoroughly researched book." —Nicholas Thompson,The New York Times Book Review Gordin has crafted a quite wonderful book . . . [It] greatly expands what we should know about the contest for nuclear supremacy in the early Cold War. Heartily recommended." —Ed Goedeken,Library Journal More than a tale of scientific ingenuity, [Red Cloud at Dawn] probes the human motives of those involved in a high-stakes drama . . . A perceptive study, rich with implications for a twenty-first-century world still fraught with nuclear tensions."—Bryce Christensen,Booklist Michael Gordin brings vividly to life the end of the American atomic monopoly. By focusing on what each side knew—and did not know—about the other, he sheds new and original light on the origins of the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms race. This is a stylish book, with important implications for how we think about nuclear weapons past and present." —David Holloway, author ofStalin and the Bomb Nothing about the early cold war can be understood without grasping the terrifying first few years of nuclear weapons. Everything was in play: who would have them, who would control them, would they be used to enforce apax Americana. Spies, diplomats, treaties, and detonations—nothing gripped decision makers as much as the atomic arsenal, from screaming headlines to the silent intelligence analyses on both sides of the divide. InRed Cloud at Dawn,Michael Gordin zeros in on the crucial years from Hiroshima to the first flash of ‘Joe 1' in 1949, the first Russian bomb and the ninth nuclear explosion. Using a spectacular variety of sources from Soviet and American sources, Gordin gives us a book that must be read to understand how we came to the sprawling nuclear proliferation in which we now live." —Peter Galison, Joseph Pellegrino University Professor, Harvard University Beginning with Truman's revelation to Stalin that the United States had an unusually powerful weapon, Michael Gordin tells the story of the Soviet A-bomb and the origins of the Cold War arms race. The ‘dialectical dance' of the superpowers entailed a deadly embrace that cost millions but miraculously avoided nuclear holocaust. This is a story of intelligence in both senses of the word—of spies and scientists, of information rather than simply fissionable material and devices. The red mushroom cloud rose on August 29, 1949, and, as Gordin's compelling narrative shows, the fallout, in its many senses, remains with us today." —Ronald Suny, Charles Tilly Collegiate Professor of Social and Political History, University of Michigan, "Gordin has crafted a quite wonderful book . . .

    Book was shipped and received quickly. Jacket and pages are in almost new condition. The only issue I have with this book is that it was not noted there was already an inscription in the book. I would not have purchased based on this alone and feel it should have been mentioned in the listing. The process was fast and efficient with no issues encountered outside of the inscription.

    Dishonest seller! I paid for 3 expensive books, yet I learned seller never shipped them, and so I contacted the seller about the issue, yet seller ignored. I had to ask eBay to step in and help me get my money back! Thank you, eBay, for helping me get my money back from this fraudulent seller!
