Every island seems to have its share of legends, intrigue and buried treasure. The mere sight of an island raises visions in our minds of things hidden, things unknown, things awaiting discovery. And what cannot be found or explained or discovered is often invented. Other lingering mysteries regard some of the previous owners and residents of the islands. While research can uncover much information, some questions remain. Upon studying island histories, one has to wonder if there is a single island anywhere that doesn't have a hidden treasure. North and South Fox Island are included in this list of "treasure islands". There will always be some mysteries left unsolved, but the question of why islands attract us needs little research. A first walk around an island usually provides all the answers needed. The beauty, solitude and events of happiness and sadness have inspired writers, painters, songwriters and poets.

The Fox Islands North and South
This book covers radiation experiments done on civilian populations for military research. I picked this up because I read Eileen Welsome's The Plutonium Files (which was great). The author refers to Welsome's book several times, and it felt like one has to read the Plutonium Files to truly enjoy this book. I think this book is a great expansion of the Plutonium Files theme. I don't believe that it is a great stand-alone book on the subject. The first third of the book primarily deals with the suppression of information regarding the experiment. The middle third of the book was the most interesting to me, because it dealt more with the experiments and the victims. The final third of the book dealt mainly with the families and their struggle for justice in the court system. The most impactful part of this book actually came at the end. The author includes appendices that list the names of each victim as well as how much radiation they were subjected to. This by itself impacted me more than anything in the text did. The author also includes testimony from one of the main doctors, as he tries to explain how this was all done to "help" the patients. This kind of story should be told, but the book wasn't put together as well as it could have been.
