Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-21 00:00:00 Louis Davis Terrifying and bone-chilling true story of our governments cover up of all the nuclear testing conducted in Nevada and Utah and the aftermath on humans, animals and vegetation. This book should have been titled...When We Bombed Utah...since it was done from the 1950's and is probably still going on. This book scared the hell out of me, it laid it all out there in black and white. This book is not only very well written but also draws you in with personal stories of the people who lived and still live in these areas. Instead of fighting in court and denying rights to U.S. citizens used and abused, our government should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Everyone needs to read this book!!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-05 00:00:00 Romana Pourova A very readable 1984 classic by John Fuller about the horrific policies of the Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S. government's testing of nuclear weapons in the 1950s and '60s at the Nevada test site in southern Nevada, north of Las Vegas. The book starts in 1953 when the military started testing multiple-kiloton bombs that created huge amounts of fallout, (radioactive dust particles, dirt, etc.) that blew over parts of Nevada and Utah in dangerous amounts, killing sheep, cattle, horses, and ultimately, people. St. George and Cedar City, Utah were the epicenter of the fallout, (which eventually made its way all over the world) and years later were areas where cancer became routine. All of this was denied for years by the AEC, which fought tooth and nail any assertion that their nuclear tests were hazardous to the public. A disturbing book!
