Customer Reviews

challenging but worthwhile

As science on the topic of long-term effects of nukes continues to come in, Graeub has only been vindicated. The facts are there: low-level radiation devastates the environment. It's no accident cancer rates have shot up since the first A-bomb tests: that's neither "dogma" nor "hysteria": it's fact. And it's something the huge, and well-financed, nuclear energy industry would like you to forget.

Excellent information for those concerned about radiation

The book is very informative and slams the government and WHO for lack of forsight on what could be the major cause of all cancer deaths. A must read for anyone who lives on this planet!
