Nuclear Playground

For 40 years, Pacific Islanders have had cause to resent the use of their ocean as a nuclear playground: of the five nuclear powers, three - the USA, USSR and China - launch missiles into the Pacific for text purposes: two - the USA and Britain - exploded nuclear devices there but have stopped; and one, France, continues to test nuclear bombs in one of its colonies. Pacific Islanders now have cause to fear that the ocean is becoming a nuclear battleground.This book tells the story of the nuclear men in the Pacific and of those people they 'displaced' and irradiated. It is also about what these people and their governments have begun to do in response.
