For decades, US military operations have been contaminating the
Pacific region with toxic substances, including plutonium, dioxin,
and VX nerve agent. Hundreds of thousands of service members, their
families, and residents have been exposed--but the United States
has hidden the damage and refused to help victims. After World War
II, the United States granted immunity to Japanese military
scientists in exchange for their data on biological weapons tests
conducted in China; in the following years, nuclear detonations in
the Pacific obliterated entire islands and exposed Americans,
Marshallese, Chamorros, and Japanese fishing crews to radioactive
fallout. At the same time, the United States experimented with
biological weapons on Okinawa and stockpiled the island with
nuclear and chemical munitions, causing numerous accidents.
Meanwhile, the CIA orchestrated a campaign to introduce nuclear
power to Japan--the folly of which became horrifyingly clear in the
2011 meltdowns in Fukushima Prefecture. Caught in a geopolitical
grey zone, US territories have been among the worst affected by
military contamination, including Guam, Saipan, and Johnston
Island, the final disposal site of apocalyptic volumes of chemical
weapons and Agent Orange. Accompanying this damage, US authorities
have waged a campaign of cover-ups, lies, and attacks on the media,
which the author has experienced firsthand in the form of military
surveillance and attempts by the State Department to impede his
work. Now, for the first time, this explosive book reveals the
horrific extent of contamination in the Pacific and the lengths the
Pentagon will go to conceal it.
