What they ultimately discover would avert World War III but still cost millions of lives. This is dark, disturbing stuff that presents heavy moral questions. The hardcover is more durable, but if the price is too steep, there's a more affordable paperback edition ($19.95. ISBN 978-0-9302-8923-2). Whichever you opt for, buy a couple; you'll need them. For all public and academic libraries. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. Librarian's View Displaying 1 of 1
