He grew up in Cold War Europe under the threat of the nuclear holocaust of the Battle of Armageddon described by the Book of Revelation. Two miles from where he attended school stood three Thor rockets pointed at the USSR and tipped with nuclear bombs possessing 450 times the explosive power of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. Now retired, Able has discovered what the Apocalypse of the Armageddon that faced him in the 1950s was then and is now. His discovery has led him to write Beyond Malignant Materialism. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
