Więcej o książce

In the fall of 1978, tort lawyers with the aid of activists, politicians, and mass media succeeded in creating an atmosphere of fear, panic, and emotional hysteria over the dimly understood dangers of radioactive fallout that still prevails in southwestern Utah. Later a number of popular books appeared recounting tales of downwinders suffering cancers as a consequence of nuclear weapons testing in Nevada. It is the object of this book to trace the history of the fallout-cancer story from the 1950s to its present status. The book compares anecdotal accounts with recent scientific findings.
