Medicine and the Bomb - Deceptions from Trinity to Maralinga

“A detailed historical document of how medical investigation of ...radiation conducted before the war was appropriated for war purposes. (this) careful analysis (that authorities knew)... casualties of the atomic bomb would far exceed the direct damage caused by its explosive force. (the) findings are.. disturbing… they demonstrate that after the war the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) had conclusive information based on the research of Dr. J. G. Hamilton about the dangers of radiation on human health -…from internalized alpha and beta emitters -…AEC persisted in trivializing the radiological effects of atmospheric testing by equating all forms of radiation with “sunshine.” ... a well-documented account of the use and abuse of research on the biological effects of radiation conducted from the 1930s through World War II.” – Prof. Majia Holmer Nadesan, Arizona State University. http://nuclearexhaust.wordpress.com/2014/08/16/medicine-and-the-bomb-deceptions-from-trinity-to-maralinga-ebook/
