Chain Reaction seeks to explain how and why America came to depend so heavily on its experts after World War II, how those experts translated that authority into political clout, and why that authority and political discretion declined in the 1970s. Brian Balogh's research into the internal memoranda of the Atomic Energy Commission substantiates his arguments in historical detail.
