Description

NY:: Harper,, 1949. Hardcover; spine ends lightly worn; spine gilt eroded; otherwise, condition good.. Lilienthal (1899-1981), Director of TVA 1933-41, TVA Chairman 1941-46; first Chairman of U.S. Atomic Energy Commission 1946-50. ||| In 1947, during `Communists!-in-Government!' investigations (later graced by Sen. Joseph McCarthy), Lilienthal was accused by Tennessee's Senator Kenneth McKellar of having `very leftist' (i.e. Communist) sympathies. Lilienthal's response was expanded in this book to a definitive statement of his views on Science, Big Government, Technology, Utility Management, Atomic Energy, etc. ||| Reminder of dark-day post-WW 2 hysteria when those in Government--including President Harry Truman--were accused of being `soft on Communism.'
