Dr. Wellerstein, the book's author, has a great blog at http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/ http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/ where posts some informal write-ups and cool source finds.
Some of my favorite posts:
On the changing and unclear knowledge of Truman about how and where the bombs would be used: http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2018/01/19/purely-military-target/ http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2018/01/19/purely-military-ta...
On information leakage through the very act of censorship: http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2016/02/12/solzhenitsyn-smyth-report/ http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2016/02/12/solzhenitsyn-smyth...
On the inherent human judgment and inconsistency of redaction, and the information leaks that creates: http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2013/04/12/the-problem-of-redaction/ http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2013/04/12/the-problem-of-red...
And lastly, some people here may also know him for NUKEMAP, a rough tool for estimating nuclear explosion effects (https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/)

- cycomanic 6y agoThat was a fascinating read thanks so much for posting. I have to say, there are a number of historians who write about complex historical events in a very accessible way. This blog post is definitely one of them, I also count Rutger Bergman amongst them.
