Stemming the tide - arms control in the Johnson years

Book ·
OSTI ID:5444646
Nobel laureate Seaborg has long combined eminent research in science with distinguished service to his country. From 1961 to 1971 he was chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, and Stemming the Tide deals with events during the Lyndon Johnson presidency, in many of which Seaborg was a participant. The book, rich in detail and including some material not previously made public, is based on Seaborg's daily diary, on official letters and papers during his AEC tenure, on archival materials in the Johnson Library, and on appropriate secondary sources. Benjamin Loeb, his former assistant, again joins him in authorship; earlier the two wrote, on a related topic, Kennedy, Khruschev and the Test Ban (Univ. of California Press, 1981). Both volumes give first-hand accounts of important aspects of post WW-II arms developments.
