At the end of World War II, English author and journalist George Orwell wrote the article, “You and the Atomic Bomb” published October 19, 1945, in the British newspaper Tribune. Contemplating a world living in the shadow of the threat of nuclear war, he warned of a “peace that is no peace”, which he called a permanent “cold war.” If Orwell only knew how true his words would become. This book looks at the history of the nuclear war and it's influence on the world.
