A life spent in the Nuclear Energy industry is mysterious and impenetrable to most people, but Terence Price writes an absorbing and enlightening memoir about his time spent in the corridors of power. He describes his full and varied life with clarity and humour - from his childhood in Gloucester to his time serving his country in the Second World War. His experiences as a research physicist at Harwell, as a top scientific adviser to Government, and finally as a facilitator to private industry, provide a wealth of entertaining anecdote and stimulating analysis of the events that have shaped our modern world. The personalities he encounters are observed acutely, assessed frankly and judged fairly. There have been disappointments and frustrations along the way, but from this narrative emerges the picture of a wise, tolerant and intellectual personality.
