Bomb: The Race to Build—and Steal—the World’s Most Dangerous Weapon, Steve Sheinkin Flash Point, September 2012 Reviewed from final copy When I say, “World […]
Joy at Macmillan!
(I couldn’t resist the bad play on Joy’s name, although if I do it too often she might just up and leave me with no right hand.) Please read on for excellent coverage from my colleague Joy Piedmont for the Macmillan preview none of us were able to attend the week before last—Joy’s debrief back […]
