Books boeken progressive management smashwords edition book augustus 2014 epub zonder kopieerbe: This volume the third in the official history of the Atomic Energy Commission makes sizable contributions in several areas including the Eisenhower presidency.
During the years in which work on the book has moved forward that presidency has been one of historiographical frontiers an area of exciting explorations and new developments.
A revisionism has emerged to challenge a conception that had taken shape earlier and was quite negative in its appraisal of Eisenhower.
Some findings of the revisionists now seem quite firmly established but the new interpretation has not swept the field.
Challenges to it have also appeared.
A volume focusing on nuclear energy cannot make contributions to all aspects of the controversy over President Eisenhower but this book can and does have much to say about some main features of the debate.
In the process the book illustrates as did the earlier volumes in the series how very good official history can be.
This book on the Atomic Energy Commission is not a narrow history of a government agency.
Dealing with the AEC during the period when issues concerning nuclear weapons and nuclear power emerged as large public concerns the volume ranges well beyond the commission.
Much of the work deals with Eisenhower.
Although not uncritical the authors find much to admire in him.
