The short stories in this collection are based on the factual events surrounding the first atomic bomb tests carried out by the United States, The Soviet Union, The United Kingdom, France and China.
These were the first five nations to develop nuclear arsenals capable of destroying the World.
They did so in the belief that to be safe they had to be dangerous. They did so in the belief that they could stop war by being too deadly to attach.

"A beautifully plotted joy to read, reminiscent of A day in the life of Ivan Denisovich"
