Sam Day's autobiography published in 1991.
Born into a diplomatic family, raised abroad in colonial comfort, educated at a New England prep school, Sam Day hoped to follow his father into the State Department. But his career took a different turn and he found himself in increasing confrontation with constituted authority. First as a crusading editor, then as a political activist, Day took on the nuclear weapons establishment in the United States -- and paid the price of a federal prison term. Here is the powerful, hope-filled story of a man-of-conscience who gained in strength and vision with each new confrontation.
Sam Day was a muckraking reporter and editor from Idaho who became editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in the 1970s. In 1979, as managing editor of The Progressive, he was a co-defendant in the famous H-bomb case, in which the federal government tried unscccessfully to suppress an article about nuclear secrecy. Since 1981 he worked with Nukewatch, a nuclear disarmament group, now based in Luck, Wisconsin. Sam Day died on January 26, 2000
