I have it, and I liked it. It was the first account in the US of the Soviet H-bomb program, in addition to giving a lot of details of the familiar US drive to the H-bomb. Rhodes is an excellent reporter.

I have not personally read Dark Sun, but I have heard great things about it. Many readers have praised Rhodes for his thorough research and engaging writing style. The book delves into the history of the development of nuclear weapons and the impact they have had on society. From the reviews I have read, it seems to be a thought-provoking and eye-opening read. I would love to hear from someone who has read it and get their thoughts on the book.
