Nukespeak is a book co-authored by about the history of how American nuclear technology was "sold" to the public. The preface charges that: :"the history of nuclear development has been profoundly shaped by the manipulation of information. Official secrecy and extensive public-relations campaigns ... and the use of information-management techniques have consistently distorted the debate over nuclear weapons and nuclear power." For example, it details how four different press releases were prepared to describe the Manhattan Project's first test explosion "based on a lie to keep the story of the first atomic explosion out of the press". Criticism Commentary magazine wrote: * "...it not only makes no pretense to objectivity, its authors and compilers seem to believe they can destroy the nuclear power movement magically, by incantation."
