PPP Editions, New York, 2003. hardcover. fine. What might Baghdad and Manhattan look like after a nuclear assault?

Before: snapshots taken of Hiroshima after the atom bomb leveled the city in 1945. After: a set of extraordinary photographs by Harold Edgerton, hired in the 1950s by the U.S. government to document its nuclear tests. Essays by Hilton Als and James Elkins.
