IVY MIKE, specifically: [1]. For technical discussions, Carey Sublette's webpage is still authoritative: [2]. You may also want to look at Single Integrated Operational Plan, George Kistiakowsky, and national means of technical verification for some of the politics. One interesting book is Howard Morland's The Secret that Exploded, which is about his reverse engineering the design as an anti-nuclear activist.Howard C. Berkowitz 18:09, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
