Highly recommended: Neal Bascombe has done a fantastic job of drawing all the threads together, and writing a gripping account of all the operations against the plant and its product. I'd read an earlier work of his (Hunting Eichmann) so had a good idea that this new book would be well researched and written, and I was not disappointed.

ISBN 9780544368057.

Following the same theme. ''Skis against the Atom' a paperback EDITION I HAD YEARS AGO.
