Subtitled: Volume 1: The Secret World of U.S. Nuclear Weapon 'Design Data' Latest edition: 2nd edition, version 2.50, August 2017. Greatly revised and improved, compared to the previous edition.

Now you can see for yourself what all the secrecy was about atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs (nuclear weapons). In incredible detail covers the design, functionality, manufacture, secrecy, and history of all U.S. nuclear weapons. Heavily annotated, with a 50 page bibliography, and listings of 100's of declassified U.S. Patents This book will blow your mind with all the "secrets" exposed. I count at least 270 *separate* items of "Restricted Data"/classified Secret "Critical Nuclear Weapon Design Information." With many pictures and figures, and including two mistakenly declassified H-bomb diagrams, and a huge number of pieces of information The U.S. Department of Energy must be shaking in its boots...
