Eric Schlosser (2015) | Nuclear Delusions

Why has humanity still not worked out how to make nuclear
weapons safe? 




As an investigative journalist, Eric Schlosser continues to
explore subjects ignored by the mainstream media and gives a
voice to people at the margins of society. He’s followed the
harvest with migrant farm workers in California, spent time
with meatpacking workers in Texas and Colorado, told the
stories of marijuana growers and pornographers and victims of
violent crime, gone on duty with the NYPD Bomb Squad, and
visited prisons throughout the US. His most recent
book, Command and Control (2013), examines the efforts of
the military, since the atomic era began during World War II,
to prevent nuclear weapons from being stolen, sabotaged, or
detonated by accident. Command and Control was
a New York Times Notable Book, a Time
Magazine Top 10 Nonfiction Book, was a finalist for the
2014 Pulitzer Prize (History) and also received the Gold Medal
Award (Nonfiction) from the 2013 California Book Awards.
