Letters From Under the Mushroom Cloud: A young "Atomic Soldier" writes to his father

"My father died two months after I entered the army in 1956. My Signal Corp unit was sent to Camp Desert Rock, Nevada to cover the atom bomb tests in 1957. While there, I started writing letters to my dad, which was probably my way of coping with losing him. Letters from Under the Mushroom Cloud is a collection of those letters. I am now seventy-four years old. I still write letters to my father, and I always will."--Ray Hoy
