Summary

Has the United States acted criminally in its development and use of atomic energy and nuclear weapons? The shaping of foreign policy around the threat of nuclear hostility, the subjection of Americans to human radiation experiments, and the massive environmental contamination caused by radioactive waste - all, say the authors of this provocative book, represent crimes committed by the state under the protective shield of national security
