Reviews
"One Nation Undergroundvividly evokes a fast-fading era of U.S. history when millions of Americans contemplated the prospect of huddling in underground shelters to escape the blast and radiation of thermonuclear war. Kenneth D. Rose brings into sharp focus these years when nuclear fear pervaded American public life and culture, gripping Pentagon Strategists, civil-defense planners, theologians, magazine editors, and the authors of comic books and science-fiction stories. Beautifully written, copiously illustrated, and drawing upon an amazing range of sources, this engrossing book should be read by anyone interested in the domestic fallout of the Cold War nuclear arms race." - Paul S. Boyer, author ofBy the Bomb's Early Light and Culture at the Dawn of the Atomic Age, "This compelling chronicle of the civil defense debate during the early years of the Cold War shows how discussions of the pros and cons of fallout shelters forced Americans to face the possible consequences of nuclear war and what kind of world any survivors would inhabit. In the national soul-searching that ensued, citizens confronted their deepest fears, values, and attitudes about themselves, their neighbors, and their world. One Nation Underground reminds us of the real terror that gripped the world in the tense years of nuclear brinksmanship." - Elaine Tyler May, author of Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era, "One Nation Underground vividly evokes a fast-fading era of U.S. history when millions of Americans contemplated the prospect of huddling in underground shelters to escape the blast and radiation of thermonuclear war.

Boyer,author of By the Bomb's Early Light and Culture at the Dawn of the Atomic Age, "Kenneth Rose's One Nation Underground explores U.S. nuclear history from the bottom up--literally. . . . Rose deserves credit for not trivializing this period of our history, as so many retrospectives of the Cold War era have tended to do."-- Journal of Cold War Studies "Important . . . One Nation Underground is an elegant account of the issues involved in the nuclear age."-- Pacific Northwest Quarterly "This is a fine compilation of a massive amount of research, well founded in the existing literature, and presented in a readable narrative."-- Journal of Illinois History "A readable short history of the fallout shelters and the broader political debate over civil defense. . . . Mr. Rose is a good storyteller, and One Nation Underground is engagingly writen, with an array of evocative photgraphs."-- The Wall Street Journal "Rose writes well, with a good eye for the telling phrase and revealing example."-- Journal of Social History, "This fascinating and illuminating study ably traces Civil Defense from Bert the Turtle's school drills in the 1950s to backyard family shelters in the early sixties. As Kenneth Rose insightfully shows, Americans, panicked over Cold War tensions and the threat of thermonuclear incineration, talked inordinately about fallout shelters, but few were ever built. That discrepancy reveals much about American society, culture, and psychology. This book almost glows in the dark." - W. J.

A++++ Seller! I have been an eBay Buyer since its beginning (under a different irretrievable prior User name, unfortunately). Very relieved to still encounter increasingly rare to find Sellers who prove sensible pride in being decent honest and wanting to sell items in great condition at fair prices. Thank you! :^)
