Title: The Story of the Atomic Bomb. A popular review of the principle discoveries which have led up to its production.
Description: London, The Machinery Publishing Co. [1945]. Octavo printed wrapper; 52pp, illustrations & diagrams through the text. ¶ An early Englishman into print on the bomb: his preface is dated 20.9.45 and his "ms. was framed before the official British and American reports were available". Clark was at Leeds University, not a lightweight in the world of atoms, and claimed a history of warnings about the "impending release of atomic energy". Warnings seem forgotten in his now gung-ho enthusiasm for this "wonderful messenger of peace" given an international "new growth of of moral sense".
