Red Cloud at Dawn: Truman, Stalin, and the End of the Atomic Monopoly

Well-written and very well-researched, but it just didn't seem to go much of anywhere. lots of speculation and "what ifs" without solid conclusions. if you're a nuclear aficionado, you already know everything in here.

also, at one point he says "thermonuclear weapons fuse hydrogen, helium, and lithium" which the "lithium" there is indirect at best (n+Li->He+T) and the "helium", no, the triple alpha process is not a large contribution to weapon yield, ugh.
