Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-04 00:00:00 Catherine Bufalino 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!
