About This Item

Cambridge: MIT Press, 1993. Signed first edition. Hard cover in dust jacket. Published Cambridge: MIT Press, 1993, first printing. Square 4to., 10 1/4" x 10 1/4", xxxiii+426pp., Illustrated with b/w photographs. "For twelve years beginning in 1951, the United States government conducted above ground testing of nuclear weapons in the deserts of Nevada. For more than four decades it has tried to cover up the human and environmental devastation wrought by this testing. In American Ground Zero, Carole Gallagher has penetrated the veil of official secrecy and anonymity to document the incredible untold story of the Americans whose misfortune it was to live downwind of the nuclear detonations - those citizens described in a top-secret Atomic Energy Commission memo as "a low-use segment of the population" - and of civilian workers and military personnel exposed to radiation at the Nevada Test Site." Inscribed by author on title page. Some dust foxing on top and front edge of page block, else fine in a very good dust jacket with an internal mend along the rear fold and a crinkle along bottom front edge. . Signed by Author. 1st. Hard. Near Fine/Very Good. 4to.
