The Great Scare

Radiation: What It Is and How It Affects You, by Jack Schubert and Ralph E. Lapp. 314 pp. New York:The Viking Press. $3.95

This book was published a month after Albert Schweitzer’s world-wide appeal for the abolition of nuclear weapons tests; a few days before the opening of a special congressional inquiry into present and future fallout perils; and it coincided with the 1957 U.S. and British nuclear explosions which have provoked riots both in Japan and in the soul of Mr. Krishna Menon.
