Book
Atomic postcards : radioactive messages from the Cold War.
"Atomic postcards played an important role in creating and disseminating a public image of nuclear power. Presenting small-scale images of test explosions, power plants, fallout shelters, and long-range missiles, the cards were produced for mass audiences in China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan and link the multilayered geographies of Atomic Age nationalism and tourism. From the unfailingly cheery slogans - 'Greetings from Los Alamos' - to blithe, handwritten notes and no-irony-intended 'Pray for Peace' postmarks. [...] 150 reproductions of cards and handwritten messages dating from the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the end of the Cold War" -- Back cover.
