In this revealing book Nobel Laureate Glenn T. Seaborg tells what
it was like to be chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission during
the Nixon presidency. He draws extensively from his meticulously
kept diary, enabling the reader to be a fly on the wall during
meetings with Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and other key policy makers.
During the Nixon period, the debate over how to deal with the
Soviets on nuclear issues and arms control remained central. On the
domestic scene efforts to promote and regulate the growth of a
nuclear power industry were complicated by a rising tide of
environmental protest. Dr. Seaborg describes how the Atomic Energy
Commission, shorn of much of the political immunity of its early
years, sought to maintain its programmes and ultimately its very
existence, while besieged by competing pressures from the White
House, other government agencies, anti-nuclear activists, industry,
state governments, and Congress.
