On August 9, 1965, 53 men died in the impoverished hills of rural
Arkansas. Their final breaths came in a government facility deep
underground while their loved ones were at home expecting their
return. The incident at Launch Complex 373-4 remains the deadliest
accident to occur in a U.S. nuclear facility. The 53: Rituals,
Grief, and a Titan II Missile Disaster analyzes the event. It looks
at causes but more importantly at how the mishap has affected
daughters and sons for nearly six decades. It gives new
sociological insight on technological disasters and the sorrow
following them. The book also details how surviving family members
managed themselves and each other while benefiting from the support
of friends and strangers. It describes how institutions blame the
powerless, and how powerful organizations generate distrust and
secondary trauma. With an analysis of the event and post-disaster
life, their children share stories on what went wrong and how they
keep moving forward.
