The American Doomsday Machine is Daniel Ellsberg's forthcoming book describing his experiences as a researcher and consultant for the US government on nuclear war planning, and the subsequent decades he has spent researching nuclear dangers. Ellsberg is a Nuclear Age Peace Foundation Fellow. Installments of his memoirs are being released throughout the year; they will be added here as they are released. http://www.wagingpeace.org/menu/issues/nuclear-weapons/ellsberg.htm http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:32:31 -0700 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:30:33 -0700 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.2.9) http://www.feedforall.com One day in the spring of 1961, soon after my 30th birthday, I was shown how our world would end.
