How nuclear bombs work

        http://people.howstuffworks.com/nuclear-bomb1.htm

Interesting enough but not overly technical - Tom Clancy provides far more
practical detail if it's H bombs one is after

BUT It led to a vast range of interesting material, including this

        http://www.atomicarchive.com/


which included this

        http://www.atomicarchive.com/Docs/Hibakusha_index.shtml

        15 eye witness accounts of the bombing of Hiroshima from a ground
side seat point of view.

I suggest that all adults should read at least some of these at least the
once - regardless of one's view on things nuclear. I'd be amazed (and
disturbed) if anyone wasn't disturbed and informed by them.
