520 1 $a"When the vast wartime factories of the Manhattan Project began producing plutonium in quantities never before seen on earth, scientists working on the top secret bomb building program grew apprehensive.
520 8 $aFearful that plutonium might cause a cancer epidemic among workers and desperate to learn more about what it could do to the human body, the Manhattan Project's medical doctors embarked upon an experiment in which eighteen unsuspecting patients in hospital wards throughout the country were secretly injected with the cancer-causing substance. Most of these patients would go to their graves without ever knowing what had been done to them."--BOOK JACKET.
520 8 $a"Now, in The Plutonium Files, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Eileen Welsome reveals for the first time the breadth of the extraordinary fifty-year cover-up surrounding the plutonium injections, as well as the deceitful nature of thousands of other experiments conducted on American citizens in the postwar years."--BOOK JACKET.
