Between 1945 and 1962 some 250000 US servicemen were exposed to incredibly high levels of radiation without their knowledge or consent. For the government the experiment was simple: How would soldiers perform under the shadow of the bomb? For the many GIs who witnessed bomb tests, the results have been harrowing; more and more atomic veterans fall victim to cancer and undiagnosed illnesses every year.This very personal account exposes decades of official indifference, gross negligence and contempt for life. Both the US government and the armed forces have refused to take responsibility for the atomic veterans. Size: 8vo.
