***Winner of the L.H.M. Ling Outstanding First Book Prize 2020***
***Shortlisted for the Bread and Roses Award 2020*** Since the
first atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, the history of nuclear
warfare has been tangled with the spaces and places of scientific
research and weapons testing, armament and disarmament, pacifism
and proliferation. Nuclear geography gives us the tools to
understand these events, and the extraordinary human cost of
nuclear weapons. Disarming Doomsday explores the secret history of
nuclear weapons by studying the places they build and tear apart,
from Los Alamos to Hiroshima. It looks at the legacy of nuclear
imperialism from weapons testing on Christmas Island and across the
South Pacific, as well as the lasting harm this has caused to
indigenous communities and the soldiers that conducted the tests.
For the first time, these complex geographies are tied together.
Disarming Doomsday takes us forward, describing how geographers and
geotechnology continue to shape nuclear war, and, perhaps, help to
prevent it.
