American Ground Zero: The Secret Nuclear War

"American Ground Zero is the extraordinary product of one photojournalist's decade-long commitment, a gripping, courageous collection of portraits and interviews of those whose lives were crossed by radioactive fallout." Carole Gallagher's book is frightening, fascinating, and extremely well done. Gallagher's research, covering six downwind states but affecting the entire nation, has produced in-depth interviews set against her thoughtful black-and-white images to provide us with truths never known and deception long buried. At a time when Americans are greatly concerned with taking back their government, this important book should be required reading for the nation.
