      abstract = {In 1980, the Cold War was in full bloom. The Soviet father  of the hydrogen bomb and Nobel Peace Laureate turned  dissident physicist, Andrei Sakharov, had been exiled to  Gorki by the Soviet authorities. Called "senile" and under  heavy Soviet censorship, Sakharov had a hard time  communicating his latest scientific results to readers  outside of Gorki. Some smuggled results reached the author,  Harry Lipkin, who then realized that he and Sakharov were  both pioneers in a new revolution on our understanding the  structure of matter. The particle physics community had  resisted their revelation that the accepted building blocks  of matter, neutrons and protons, were composed of tinier  building blocks called "quarks". What followed was a  remarkable adventure in which both scientists fought the  Soviet censors, smuggling postcards and manuscripts into  and out of the Soviet Union while trying to further  scientific progress. Against a backdrop of politics,  suppression, and genius, Andrei Sakharov, Quarks and the  Structure of Matter details the search for the basic  building blocks of matter, the path to understanding the  forces that bind them together, and how scientific  knowledge is learned, communicated and passed from one  group of investigators to another.},
