This book was right up my alley -- combining the topics of nuclear weaponry, plate tectonics, and international politics. Full of information on both the history of atomic weaponry development and current status of testing and anti-proliferation efforts. The book was a bit dense at times, but really made the concepts understandable. Definitely worth reading to better understand these weapons that could turn our world into something we don't recognize. Recommended reading.

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed above are my own.

This book is an excellent insiders tale of nuclear testing and limiting. The author explains the science behind verification clearly. This is scientific history at its best.
