JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post 
There’s a sotto voce sub-series on the destruction of Manhattan in this blog’s longer series on atomic/nuclear weapons. (There are a number of them–if you’re interested search those terms in the Google search box at left.) I’ve found three more from 1951/2 that I’ve included below. At some point I’ll gather all of the Destroyed Cities and makes a larger post of them.
