Philip Jarvis Dolan (October 5, 1923 - January 5, 1992) graduated in physics from West Point in 1945, was assigned to the Manhattan Project, Los Alamos, in 1948 received his MSc in physics from the University of Virginia in 1956. The son of a Professor of Military Science at Purdue University, Dolan served in the Korean War before holding U.S. Army posts ranging from 'Instructor in Nuclear Weapons Employment' to 'Nuclear Effects Project Officer'. He later worked for both Lockheed Corporation and SRI International. He is best known as co-author with Samuel Glasstone of the well-known reference work ''The Effects of Nuclear Weapons'', as well as first editor of the two-part edition of the U.S. Department of Defense’s 1,651 pages 'Secret-Restricted Data' manual, ''Capabilities of Nuclear Weapons'' (DNA-EM-1, 1 July 1972). ==Controversial publication== Dolan also compiled the famous and controversial U.S. Army Field Manual, ''Nuclear Weapons Employment'', FM 101-31, in 1963. Professor Freeman Dyson commented on it in his 1984 book, ''Weapons and Hope:'' ''The military doctrines summarised in FM 101-31 were valid... when tactical nuclear wars might have been small-scale and truly limited. The handbook represents a sincere attempt to put Oppenheimer’s philosophy of local nuclear defence into practice.'' Dr J. Robert Oppenheimer said of this nuclear weapons capabilities question: ''I am not qualified, and if I were qualified I would not be allowed, to give a detailed evaluation of the appropriateness of the use of atomic weapons against any or all such (military) targets; but one thing is very clear. It is clear that they can be used only as adjuncts in a military campaign which has some other components, and whose purpose is a military victory. They are not primarily weapons of totality or terror, but weapons used to give combat forces help they would otherwise lack. They are an integral part of military operations. Only when the atomic bomb is recognized as useful insofar as it is an integral part of military operations, will it really be of much help in the fighting of a war, rather than in warning all mankind to avert it.''
