Work Description
It was in the early 1950s, a few years after Russia had announced its own atomic bomb, that the Atomic Energy Commission conducted a series of atomic bomb tests in Southwestern Utah and Eastern Nevada - a sparsely populated area inhabited mainly by sheep farmers. Most of the test shots were more powerful than Hiroshima explosion, and AEC press releases stated plainly that fallout did not constitute a serious hazard outside the test area.
The Day We Bombed Utah tells in full, for the first time, the shocking story of these tests - a story of government error and cover-up, and its grim consequences in terms of life and truth.
