Description
The Neutron Bomb by Michael A. Aquino Ph.D. In 1977, a reference to "ERW" in the US Energy Research & Development Administration's budget sparked an investigation into a new type of nuclear warhead that emitted bursts of neutrons. This "Neutron Bomb" had the potential to kill everything living in its vicinity while leaving structures undamaged and the landscape uncontaminated. The development of the N-Bomb led to a two-year debate within the US government, NATO, and the Soviet Union about its ethics and practicality. The author's research project, originally intended as an academic exercise, became increasingly complex due to the secrecy surrounding the program. As a result, the author found himself navigating a delicate balance between what was safe to say and what could be revealed. This book examines the sequence of events that led to the world community's resolution on the N-Bomb, and explores how such a device would have affected international relations and nuclear policy.
