One Damn Thing After Another de Gregg Herken Resumen del Libro

The title of this "sort of memoir" is borrowed from Mark Twain's observation that life is "just one damn thing after another." Its author--a professor who taught the history of the Cold War for nearly four decades--originally intended the book's readership to be limited to prospective grandchildren. But the stories within--about the vicissitudes of academic life; 'Sixties protests against the Vietnam War; my brief stint as an intelligence analyst on the CIA's Soviet desk; a subsequent, 15-year career as a department chair and curator at the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum; summers spent at a Cape Cod cabin and other, international travels (including an arrest in Mexico for terrorism)--may also appeal to a broader audience. As Mark Twain also wrote: "No narrative that tells the facts of a man's life in the man's own words, can be uninteresting."
Gregg Herken is the author of five books on nuclear history, including The Georgetown Set: Friends and Rivals in Cold War Washington (Knopf, 2014), and Brotherhood of the Bomb: The Tangled Lives and Loyalties of Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller (Henry Holt, 2002), a finalist for the 2003 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History.
