...author of a notable study of Hiroshima survivors, Death in Life, and other examinations of disaster, Lifton is writing two books: one on Auschwitz doctors, another on the medical profession under Hitler.

...massive project marks a grim scientific milestone of sorts. While retrospective studies were made of Japanese A-bomb victims after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this is the first ever undertaken to examine effects of low-level radiation from essentially the time of exposure.

Similar machinery destined for West Germany and Belgium had not been vandalized...

They have imagined Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and have wrought their vision into The Price of Defense, a book about the American military that is at once humane and informative, radical and sensible, evident yet original. For the most part, they have avoided both the military jargon that sanitizes insanity and the tired, violent rhetoric of destruction. Though the book's voice is somewhat anonymous (an inevitable result of group writing) occasionally lapses...
