Donald A. Berman

Donald A. Berman, M.D. (1932- ) comes to writing fiction with more than 50 years experience in the medical profession. Dr. Berman served in the U.S. Army at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, as Flight Surgeon and Division for the Second Infantry Division. He holds a commercial pilot rating with fixed wing, seaplane and helicopter ratings. He has authored many medical and scientific articles. His interests in science and history first led him to write MASADA, a novel describing the Jewish revolt against Rome in 72 A.D. His latest work, MOUNT DOOMSDAY, originally published in 2005, depicts a scenario in which an earthquake results in a nuclear plant disaster. The recent unfortunate events in Japan at Fukushima have turned this fiction novel into fact. Research for the book revealed startling facts concerning a history of long standing mismanagement, poor planning and oversight of the nuclear industry, including multiple multiple spills, leaks, meltdowns and accidents involving highly toxic radioactive materials.
