The long Cold War of the twentieth century has ended, but only now
are the poisonous legacies of that "first nuclear age" coming to
light. Activists and anthropologists, the authors of this volume
reveal the devastating, complex, and long-term environmental health
problems afflicting the people who worked in uranium mining and
processing, lived in regions dedicated to the construction of
nuclear weapons or participated, often unknowingly, in radiation
experiments. The nations and individuals, many of them members of
indigenous or ethnic minority communities, are now demanding
information about how the United States and the Soviet Union
poisoned them and meaningful remedies for the damage done to them
and the generations to come. As nuclear proliferation accelerates,
this struggle takes on ever greater urgency.
