Summary
"How do people react to wartime dangers? How do they adjust to threats of impending attack? How have survivors responded? ... What needs to be done in the United States to reduce psychological vulnerability to the A-bomb threat? This book casts light on these pressing questions in a comprehensive analysis of all existing reports of the psychological aspects of air war--with detailed descriptions of the psychological effects of atomic bombing, and conventional air attacks"--Jacket.
