About This Item
Chatto & Windus, 1984. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. The author's first novel. First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
America's Children is a multi-layered story of Christian and Marxist values; of love of family and land; of invisible high-energy particles and Pentagon technocrats; of thrilling scientific discovery and the unspeakable reality of Hiroshima. A novel for our age, America's Children is a sublime and truly American story of the theft of atomic fire, the agonies of political and moral conscience, and the future of our planet in a nuclear world.
