Epilogue: ' The Gradual Removal of Prejudices'. Acknowledgments. Notes. Glossary of Names. Bibliography. Index. Fine unread in a fine. mylar-covered dust jacket. "In this brilliant, major work of history, science and politics, Richard Rhodes, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE MAKING OF THE ATOMIC BOMB, tells for the first time the secret story of how and why the hydrogen bomb was made; traces the path by which "the Bomb, " the supreme artifact of twentieth-century science and technology, became the defining issue of the Cold War; and reveals how close the world came to nuclear destruction before the United States and the former Soviet Union learned the lesson of nuclear stalemate-a stalemate, Rhodes makes clear, that forced the super-powers to tenuous truce for more than four decades, in the end bankrupting and destroying the Communist state and foreclosing world-scale war."
