You say you're glad that you've never experienced any aspects of a war. Are you sure? O.K. You've never left the United States. But, are you certain that you've NEVER been a victim of friendly fire? Would the U.S. government deliberately harm you? Would they conduct tests on Americans? I challenge you to read this book and then answer these questions again. Is the air that you breathe, the ground that you walk on, and the food that you eat always safe? If the U.S. government knew that it wasn't, then would they tell you? What if this knowledge would trigger a lawsuit or threaten other political goals? Glenn Cheney writes an informative and frightening summary of nuclear testing and its impact. This reads like a suspense novel, but its reality folks, not fiction. If the radioactive particles can drift from a test sight and this can be viewed as friendly fire, then how many of us haven't experienced war?
