"A beautiful, intelligent book that renders pain both ordinary and extraordinary into art."Susanna Sonnenberg, San Francisco
Chronicle In 2007, during the months before Nick Flynns daughters birth, his growing outrage and obsession with torture,

exacerbated by the Abu Ghraib photographs, led him to Istanbul to meet some of the Iraqi men depicted in those photos.
Haunted by a history of addiction, a relationship with his unsteady father, and a longing to connect with his mother who
committed suicide, Flynn artfully interweaves in this memoir passages from his childhood, his relationships with women, and his
growing obsessiona questioning of terror, torture, and the political crimes we can neither see nor understand in post-9/11
American life. The time bomb of the title becomes an unlikely metaphor and vehicle for exploring the fears and joys of becoming
a father. Here is a memoir of profound self-discoveryof being lost and found, of painful family memories and losses, of the need
to run from love, and of the ability to embrace it again.

Hiroshima, and the Marshall Islands (Asia-Pacific: Culture, Politics, and Society)

Despite familiar images of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan and the controversy over its fiftieth
anniversary, the human impact of those horrific events often seems lost to view. In this uncommon memoir,

and cultural conflict, of war and sacrifice, his story creates an insp...

Israel and the Bomb

Until now, there has been no detailed account of Israel's nuclear history. Previous treatments of the subject
relied heavily on rumors, leaks, and journalistic speculations. But with Israel and the Bomb, Avner Cohen
has forged an interpretive political history that draws on thousands of American and Israeli government
documents--most of them recently declassified and never before cited--and more than one hundred
interviews with key individuals who played important roles in this story. Cohen rev...

demands for their loyalty and McCarthyism's threats to academic freedom. By examining how Op...

Making of the Atomic Bomb

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

locked inside the atom to the dropping of the first bombs on Japan. Few great discoveries have evolved so
swiftly--or have been so misunderstood. From the theoretical discussions of nuclear ener...
