Born in Berlin in November 1940, Elias Deane Grimm Lohr, who has gone by Grimm Lohr since he was a child, narrates the fascinating events of his life and his family against the backdrop of the twentieth century, offering as honest a replication of the facts as he can. Grimm begins by recounting his German-British grandfather's service as a physician in Germany during the First World War, and then the life of his own father, the assistant to the official translator of the German government during the Third Reich who disappeared with the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad. After spending time in the South Pacific where his American grandfather served as a diplomat during the Second World War, Grimm and his family move to Normal, Illinois, where he matures, studies theater at Northwestern University, and eventually moves to Los Angeles to seek employment in the film and televison industries. As he pursues a career as a screenwriter and actor during the 1970s and 1980s, he encounters, among others, a boisterous producer, a counterculture director, a cannibalistic stalker, and the love of his life-a famous actress who holds a dark secret. Finally tiring of the Hollywood scene, he decides to try to patent and manufacture a device based in part on the work of his grandfather, a device also coveted by one of the world's richest men, and the ensuing conflict leads Grimm to a remote and mysterious archipelago in the middle of the Indian Ocean called Morro Burra. The Revelations of Grimm Lohr is a satirical and outrageous novel that explores the events of the twentieth century as told through three generations of a German-American family.

The postwar period saw increased interest in the idea of relatively easy-to-manufacture but devastatingly lethal radiological munitions whose use would not discriminate between civilian and military targets. Death Dust explores the largely unknown history of the development of radiological weapons (RW)—weapons designed to disperse radioactive material without a nuclear detonation—through a series of comparative case studies across the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Iraq, and Egypt. The authors illuminate the historical drivers of and impediments to radiological weapons innovation. They also examine how new, dire geopolitical events—such as the war in Ukraine—could encourage other states to pursue RW and analyze the impact of the spread of such weapons on nuclear deterrence and the nonproliferation regime. Death Dust presents practical, necessary steps to reduce the likelihood of a resurgence of interest in and pursuit of radiological weapons by state actors.
