akooda7's review against another edition
4.0
Quickly covers a lot of significant points on scientific discovery, nation-states, military/national security interests and organisations/funding. For those less familiar it does a good job of sparking interest in supercollider research. Particularly interesting was the perhaps unintended commentary on men, competition and complex decisions boiled down to the most basic desires for recognition and superiority.

The weird thing about this book is that some of the things that are only speculation are now faits accomplis. The best thing about this book is that is it a short, yet informative summary on the role the military and government played in high energy physics, and defines the concept of "Big Science".
