Medical Implications of Nuclear War Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read this book fairly recently, and even when viewed as a relic of the cold war, it is a chilling read. I am not in a position to judge accuracy or the continued relevance the scientific content (although I consider it quite thourough). It kept me awake for a night or two. Scarier than Stephen King and a good arguement for nuclear disarmament.
