About the book

This is the story of British nuclear testing in Australia during the 1950s. Britain's first atomic test took place on Australian soil, and a further eleven explosions and a number of minor trials were made over the following decade. Updated information in this edition includes: new declassified material from the National Archives; more on the nature of the weapons being tested and the interrelationship with the H-bomb tests at Christmas Island; contemporary controversies over the health of test veterans; and the clean-up of the old test-range at Maralinga.--From back cover.
