Ray Hoy is one of the dwindling number of so-called "Atomic Soldiers" whose Signal Corps unit provided communications for the above ground atomic bomb tests in the Nevada desert in 1957. While there he witnessed numerous above ground "shots" and, unlike thousands of his fellow soldiers, has lived to tell about it. This is a humorous, chilling account of those tests.
