Summary: At Work in the Fields of the Bomb
Comment: The photography in the book is all black and white, a medium becoming more rare each day. Each photo is telling and technically superior. The author creates a sense of scale of the effort it took to create the atomic bomb. The words of the book serve to explain and to elaborate on the photos. I like the book simply because I'm a photographer, and I enjoy visual communication through photographs. The book is mostly to be appreciated for the visual experience and the commentary of those the author has interviewed in relation to his photographs. If you'd like to see a tremendous example of excellent photography, dealing with the horror of the atomic bomb, check out "American Ground Zero" by Carole Gallagher. Gallagher's book is definitive on the human horror of the nuclear age. It includes photos of "down winders" people who lived in the states bordering our nuclear test sites. Tredici's book is a contender, but not nearly the work of author Gallagher.
