Reviews and Awards
"[A]n excellent biography"--Jeremy Bernstein, The Wall Street Journal
"Radiation oncologist Andrew Brown's fine biography, Keeper of the Nuclear Conscience, chronicles a life spanning almost the entire twentieth century and moulded by its turmoil and horrors...Brown's balanced and comprehensive biography is welcome. Rotblat's inspiring life--against a backdrop of tragedy and hardship, with idealism but without illusions--deserves to be better known."--Martin Rees, Nature
"Brown's use of numerous interviews, including one with Rotblat himself, make for compelling reading. Overall, Keeper of the Nuclear Conscience is a fine work that lucidly depicts the challenges faced by Rotblat and his Pugwash colleagues as they relentlessly pursued a more peaceful world."--Edwin Lyma, New Scientist
