"A deeply shocking and important exposé... Anyone who cares about America's history, moral health and future should read this book." -- Publishers Weekly "There should have been--and should now be--hundreds of other reporters out there doing what [Welsome] has so brilliantly done here." -- Newsday "A remarkable tale...

Synopsis
In a Massachusetts school, seventy-three disabled children were spoon fed radioactive isotopes along with their morning oatmeal....In an upstate New York hospital, an eighteen-year-old woman, believing she was being treated for a pituitary disorder, was injected with plutonium by Manhattan Project doctors....At a Tennessee prenatal clinic, 829 pregnant women were served "vitamin cocktails"--in truth, drinks containing radioactive iron--as part of their prenatal treatmen.... In 1945, the seismic power of atomic energy was already well known to researchers, but the effects of radiation on human beings were not. Fearful that plutonium would cause a cancer epidemic among workers, Manhattan Project doctors embarked on a human experiment that was as chilling as it was closely guarded: the systematic injection of unsuspecting Americans with radioactive plutonium. In this shocking exposé, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Eileen Welsome reveals the unspeakable scientific trials that reduced thousands of American men, women, and even children to nameless specimens with silvery radioactive metal circulating in their veins. Spanning the 1930s to the 1990s, filled with hundreds of newly declassified documents and firsthand interviews, The Plutonium Files traces the behind-the-scenes story of an extraordinary fifty-year cover-up. It illuminates a shadowy chapter in this country's history and gives eloquent voice to the men and women who paid for our atomic energy discoveries with their health--and sometimes their lives.
Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (2,319)
- s***r (54)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe price was perfectly reasonable for the product, and the book arrived promptly and in great condition—like new, as described: the slightest bit of noticeable use and that was it. The seller wrapped it in literally 6 layers of protection (cardboard, bubble wrap, waterproof, etc.), which seemed like overkill but was much appreciated. My wife was so impressed that she demanded I leave a positive review immediately—and she was right. I’d be happy to do business with this seller again.Aliens Vs Predator 1991 Dark Horse Comics FREE SHIPPING (#187375163260)
