Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - On July 16, 1945, the 'Trinity' Test effectively brought about the transformation of the 'American Prometheus' into the 'Destroyer of Worlds' along with an expedited dawn of the nuclear age as the Laws of Physics were successfully reappraised by the Homo Sapiens. However, the initial premise and the hopeful promise of the creation of a 'Super Weapon' to end all wars has remained more or less a chimera for humanity even after 7+ decades of its genesis.The dawn of the nuclear age; following Trinity and the subsequent atomic bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki; unleashed the Cold War-era with nuclear weapons effectively becoming the 'Hanging Sword of Damocles', as famously described by JFK, with the possibility of a potential nuclear catastrophe by accident, miscalculation or madness staying as a very real possibility throughout and the extinction of Homo Sapiens from planet Earth, just a matter of seconds, which fortunately was somehow averted on multiple occasions and humanity, somehow, managed to survive.This multi-part book series focuses on the evolution of atomic age from its genesis during World War II till the end of Cold War in 1991. Key highlights of the analysis include:1. Why the U.S. decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan was a geopolitical move and was a part of U.S.-U.S.S.R. power play and early quest for greater global influence 2. How the biggest U.S. nuclear detonation ever, the Castle Bravo test of 1954 with a yield of 15 megatons, was caused by limited technical know-how of the physicists of the time about the chemical properties of Lithium-7 used in the fusion fuel 3. Breaks the popular myth that Soviet defense overspending, in response to Reagan era's SDI/Star Wars program, led to U.S.S.R.'s disintegration which, instead, was rather actually triggered by Gorbachev's active pursuit of structural, economic and political reforms in a highly repressive system 4. Insights into U.S. plans & experiments in the late 1950s to create an electromagnetic defensive shield over North America using the Christofilos Effect and low-yield nuclear detonations5. How U.S. Nuclear Bullying triggered France, China and India's decisions to become Nuclear Weapon States while its facilitation & tacit support for Israel and Pakistan, too, produced two more nuclear weapon states 6.Insights into Ludicrous U.S. plans crafted in the 1960s to detonate Hydrogen bombs to widen Panama Canal and to create an alternate shipping waterway to the Suez Canal in the Middle East by detonating almost 200 hydrogen bombs of over 2 megatons in yield.…
