From the publication:
Advance Praise for Atomic Harvest "This is a gripping story of the betrayal of believing, patriotic Americans by the military-industrial complex and its deceit, generational damage, and cover-ups. Hanford may be the worst radioactive territory toxified by this governmental- corporate alliance, but there are many more around the country where the same crimes and cover-ups occurred. "Atomic Harvest by Michael D' Antonio may be the fastest-moving book you'll ever read-a real-life tragic drama that should be a wake-up call for all Americans who have been left in the radioactive dark for so long." -RALPH NADER "Atomic Harvest recounts the most tragic chapter in American Cold War history .... Michael D' Antonio paints a vivid picture of the people who fought to discover that their government had betrayed them with both radiation and lies .... The frightening story told in this landmark book punctures the atomic myth that has demeaned American democracy." -From the Foreword by STEWART UDALL, Secretary of the Interior, 1961-1969 "Atomic Harvest is just terrific. It is not only an important book, but one that is wonderfully engaging to read. Michael D' Antonio has told a tale of life and death, both in the past and quite possibly the future. It is a sordid, scary story that is nevertheless uplifting, because it is told from the point of view of middle-of-the- road Americans who found the courage to fight for what was right." -TIMOTHY M. PHELPS, co-author, Capitol Games: Clarence Thomas, Anita Hill, and the Story of a Supreme Court Nomination "In Atomic Harvest, Michael D' Antonio compellingly catalogues the terrifyingly real nuclear horrors visited upon American citizens by the American government in the name of protecting American citizens from imagined nuclear horrors. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever thought or said, 'It can't happen to me.' " -B. D. COLEN, author, O.R.: The True Story of24 Hours in a Hospital Emergency Room "Atomic Harvest brilliantly chronicles a sea change overtaking America's nuclear weapons complex. It reconstructs the drama and dynamics of Hanford's transformation as the nation's prime Bomb-maker and polluter to an industry forced at long last to face the century's most daunting task: closing the circle on the splitting of the atom." -ROBERT DEL TREDICI, author, At Work in the Fields of the Bomb
