Книга содержит много иллюстраций и фотографий униформы и примеров ее ношения. Исторический очерк, посвященный русскому военному мундиру XVIII века.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Walter Pincus exposes the darkest secret in American nuclear history―sixty-seven nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands that decimated a people and their land. The most important place in American nuclear history are the Marshall Islands―an idyllic Pacific paradise that served as the staging ground for over sixty US nuclear tests. It was here, from 1946 to 1958, that America perfected the weapon that preserved the peace of the post-war years. It was here―with the 1954 Castle Bravo test over Bikini Atoll―that America executed its largest nuclear detonation, a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima.
