From the cover, 'When no less august a source than George Bush suggested nuclear war was winnable, W. Morgan Petty, intrepid retired glove salesman, assumed resonsibility for his own international security and declared his house and garden a nuclear free zone. Then, armed with government booklets, a World War I bayonet, and infinite patience, he set out to fortify 3 Cherry Drive against the winds of war. These pages document Petty's hectic year of correspondence with world leaders, weapons manufacturers, financiers and such institutions as the CIA, the British Museum, and the Pope. The replies reprinted illustrate the problems of such an ambitious endeavor. Facts - and tanks - prove hard to come by. Mishaps and near disasters threaten the campaign daily. Yet spirits never flag as the defencer of Cherry Drive strive to keep the superpowers on the other side of the garden hedge. The chronicles of his modest experiment pose a cheering antidote to otherwise grim news of the arms race. In his one-man assault on the big business of war today, Morgan Petty may represent the true hero of the Nuclear Age.' . more information

Over Their Dead Bodies is the first collection of its kind to explore this trove chronologically and presents epitaphs within the framework of their times.
