Summary:
Seventy years ago in July 1946, the world waited anxiously for the results of the first postwar tests of the atomic bomb at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean - Operation Crossroads. The author witnessed Crossroads and Tests Able and Baker from the deck of the heavy cruiser, USS Fall River, Flagship for the Target Fleet. Known for his spare and straightforward writing style, McGee gives an eyewitness account of his participation in one of the most important events of the twentieth century - from the plan that was comparable to a major wartime battle plan, to the build-up, the rehearsals, the tests, and to the all-important later lessons learned about the devastating effects of radiation on man, animal, and ships - that no one saw coming. -- [p. 4] of cover.
