A very good copy of the presumed first hard cover edition (no explicit edition or printing statement) in a like (not price-clipped) dust-jacket, warmly inscribed and signed by Sam Day on the front free endpaper. Three pages have highlights, else the text is wholly unmarked, pristine, and the binding and jacket are bright and fresh in appearance. Additionaly, several Day-signed postcards and a brief letter are laid in. A sharp copy.

About this title

Synopsis

Book by Day, Samuel H.

Reviews

This autobiography is interesting both as a case study of one man's evolution into an antinuclear activist and as an investigation of the elaborate American machinery of nuclear weapons testing, production, deployment, and justification. With a tone of bemusement, Day describes his metamorphosis from privileged youngster and comfortable editor/journalist to activist and inmate in middle age. Especially informative is his discussion of his experiences at The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and The Progressive , two journals that have challenged government secrecy regarding nuclear weapons. Like many peace activists, Day sometimes resorts to cliche and sentimentality, but he rightly points out that even in post-Cold War America, it is still true that nuclear weapons have changed everything but our way of thinking.
