4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended Radiological reading by nervegas.com, January 10, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Nuclear Radiation in Warfare (Hardcover)
Dr Rotblat details forms of Radiological Warfare, including salted nukes, the neutron bomb, fall out, and induced radiation. Supplimenting this is a detailed account of the biological effects of radiation from different aspects, along with a good amount of risk data.

Dr Rotblat is an expert in nuclear radiation, and this book is worth reading for his views on the subject. However, he is not an expert on military affairs, and fails to address the many military problems with nuclear radiation that are worth exploring, and support his views against nuclear and radiological warfare; while entertaining ludicrous forms of radiation protection in an effort to attack neutron weapons.

The health effects from radiation that are detailed will provide the reader with an understanding of the rate-of-action and duration-of-action of radiological dosing. Also of value is the degree of incapacitation, lethality, and amount of medical support necessary for casualty management.

This book is worth reading for its detailed account of radiolgical effects on people from nuclear and radiological weapons. The health opinions contained within it are credible, and a must know for those concerned with radiological operations or planning.
