The document appears to be a compilation of various sources, including "The Final Months of the War with Japan" by Douglas J. MacEachin from the Central Intelligence Agency, and "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" published by the United States Department of Defense and the Energy Research and Development Administration in 1977. Since it consists of data from multiple sources rather than being authored by a single individual, it does not have a single author but rather reflects a range of contributions from different experts and organizations.
