      About This Book

      " 'It has begun,' he writes in the diary in which these things are recorded. 'It is not for me to reach out to consequences I cannot foresee. I am a part, not a whole; I am a little instrument in the armoury of Change. If I were to burn all these papers, before a score of years had passed, some other man would be doing this. . . ' " H.G. Wells classic "The World Set Free", written in 1913 and originally published in 1914, predicting the atomic bomb. A true literary gem.
