Robert C. Williams was a writer, historian, and educator. Williams College, Williamstown, MA, assistant professor of history, 1965-70, assistant to the provost, 1968-70; Washington University, St. Louis, MO, 1970-, began as associate professor, became professor of history and dean. Philip Luis Cantelon (born 1940) is the co-founder and CEO of History Associates Incorporated and a leading pioneer in the field of applied history. He previously taught contemporary American history at Williams College, and is a founding member of the National Council on Public History and the Society for History in the Federal Government. Cantelon is an expert on oral history, foundations, business and institutional history, as well as the history of deregulation. Ever since the late 1930s, scientists have been sharply divided on the question of atomic energy. It is hardly surprising, then, that the American public is so apprehensive about its use. Hack M. Holl, former chief historian a the U.S. Department of Energy, characterizes the furor over nuclear energy as "one of the great debates in American history." The editors have selected a collection of primary documents that tell the story of atomic energy in the United States from the discover of fission through the development of nuclear weapons and attempts at arms control. Anyone interested in the evolution of the issues will want to examine the book's major sections on the Manhattan Project, the Oppenheimer Case, the hydrogen bomb, nuclear testing and the test ban, arms control, and deterrence.
