Based on secret files in the United States and the former Soviet Union, this monumental work of history discloses how and why the United States decided to create the bomb that would dominate world politics for more than forty years. 000342837 650_0 $$aHydrogen bomb$$xHistory. 000342837 650_0 $$aNuclear weapons$$xDevelopment. 000342837 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory, Military. 000342837 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xHistory, Military. 000342837 830_0 $$aSloan technology series. 000342837 85200 $$bgen$$hUG1282.A8$$iR46$$i2005 000342837 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:342837$$pGLOBAL_SET 000342837 980__ $$aBIB 000342837 980__ $$aBOOK
