A brilliant portrayal of these heroes of our time. -- Kate Brown, author of Plutopia There's something calm and routine in narrator Michael Quinlan's voice as he delivers this audiobook...There are hints of the trio's passion in Quinlan's reading...[and] the drama fully blooms in the courtroom where the trio is tried for sabotage. -- AudioFile Zak gracefully synthesizes the stories of the politicians and bureaucrats controlling stockpiles of weapons and those of the activists working to disarm them. -- Publishers Weekly A scrupulously reported, gracefully told, exquisitely paced debut. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Zak demonstrates that we're all in it together...and that none of us yet knows how to get out of it alive. -- Washington Post Read Almighty. Its message is current and extremely urgent. -- Huffington Post This book is essential reading for any American. -- America Magazine Zak's narrative is a perfectly measured blend of biography, suspense, and history. He skillfully uses the small, finite story of the Y-12 protest to explore our national identity as a people whose culture is now intimately connected with things nuclear. -- New York Times Book Review
