Nuclear Bomb Testing: Images From The First 30 Years Of Tests
Since the first nuclear explosion in 1945 almost 2,000 nuclear tests have been performed.

While a large number of tests took place in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, according to the Atlantic, things died down in the 1990s as regulations began to restrict their use. A U.S. testing moratorium and a U.N. test ban treaty have gone further to limit these tests.

1. 100 Suns
by Michael Light - published in 2003. Amazingly effective photographic essay, with complete information on just about every nuclear test in the world during the height of the testing.

2. Even knowing what was known then,
I am absolutely amazed at the number of those pictures with servicemen in the pictures. There is a lot to answer for.
