Second. Worth noting: PBS’ “American Experience” did a documentary (part docudrama?) on the accident which was okay, but not as nearly as outstanding as the book. I read the book is the result of seven years of research. The text itself is 500 pages with ~110 of notes and references. Schlosser’s book (at times) reads like fiction. I enjoyed how he weaved the story of the Damascus accident and history of America’s nuclear program seamlessly to a climax. It is one of my favorite books of on both subject matter and writing style.
