"The Armageddon experience recounts my experience as an undergraduate science student working at a little-known, top-secret Navy laboratory in the San Francisco Bay Area, preparing for nuclear weapon tests in the Pacific ... I relate the staggering impact the open-atmosphere nuclear tests had on native Enewetak and Bikini Atoll populations, as well as on Japanese fishermen caught by "the sun that rose in the West" ... My Armageddon experience was Operation Hardtack I, Shot Oak, witnessed from a distance of 20 miles ... I have includd information and activities from before, during, and after my experience in Hardtack I to help relate the personal side of the unique work my colleagues and I pursued and to highlight some of the issues the public discussed during that period in our nation's history. In addition, this memoir contributes to the unrecorded history of the unique research carried out by a small, highly-focused, top-secret Navy laboratory during the Cold War."--
