A very nice, collector's-quality copy in an essentially whole and colorful jacket.
"...Buck has turned the greatest topic of our times -- man's conquest of the atom -- and, seeing it as both novelist and woman, woven this suspenseful story of the thoroughly human beings who brought it to pass. She takes us back to those fateful years early in the second world war when great physicists had become convinced that a weapon of unutterable destructive power was within their grasp..."
