Review:
A book of stories collected around the breakfast table at a real inn, the Abacrombie in Baltimore, set in a winter with everyone snowed in. Guests have told their story and the innkeeper has collected them and written this book. Some of the stories are truly the living of the American dream, other stories are of more of the truth being stranger than fiction type. One chapter is named a really big tale. It is, it takes about a quarter of the book, and felt a bit long-winding to me. A pleasant read. The author has a great writing style, which made me envision the stories told easily. Makes me want to visit the Abacrombie inn!

Review:
With a strange sounding subject like this a very readable and interesting book. The history of nuclear weapons design, both in the US and other countries has always been shrouded in secrecy but Nathan Hodge and Sharon Weinberger have been able to visit a number of sites related to the history of nuclear weapons. They even took up the invitation to visit a site in Iran. A very well-written book in my opinion, I found it a joy to read. Wonderful descriptions of the surroundings and atmosphere at sites allowing the reader to get a real feel for the current state of nuclear weapons in the world.
