Acknowledgements
"O’Brian and Borsos have added a valuable chapter to the cultural artifacts of the atomic age."—Rain Taxi
"Atomic Postcards documents a treasure trove of Cold War relics, some which need to be seen to be believed."—imprint
"Atomic Postcards fuses the almost inherently banal form of the canned tourist dispatch with the incipient peril, and nervously giddy promise, of the nuclear age. Collected within are two-sided curios spanning the vast range of the military-industrial complex—’radioactive messages from the Cold War,’ as the book promises. . . . Taken as a whole, the postcards form a kind of de facto and largely cheery dissemination campaign for the wonder of atomic power."—Tom Vanderbilt, Slate
