By EDWARD BIRNBAUMScience magazine, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), typically selects on average only two to three science books to review each week, so the fact that a review of Sig Hecker’s two-volume set, “Doomed to Cooperate” appeared in the Sept. 23, 2016 issue of Science is a significant recognition of this literary effort at the national level.
This book set, published by the Bathtub Row Press under the auspices of the Los Alamos Historical Society, deals with the cooperative efforts of Russian and American scientists to reduce the risk of the unsecured nuclear arsenal deployed outside of Russia after the disintegration of the U.S.S.R. An important lesson on how diverse groups can work together to accomplish the most difficult of tasks.
Congratulations to Sig Hecker and the Los Alamos Historical Society for bringing this story to light.
