For the first time, an interested reader is able to find a clear treatment of a very sensitive issue in one comprehensive volume. The report presents the facts with a minimum of editorial or political "spin" and represents a critical step forward in our understanding of the Cold War’s effects on innocent civilians as well as our atomic veterans, who were used as military guinea pigs. Readable, understandable, and objective, this work is highly recommended for all who want to take a critical look at the ethics of science and our medical establishment, and informed consent. The Nazis were tried for their crimes at Nurenberg; American victims of indiscriminant radiation testing have yet to find justice.
I have no idea of the accuracy or inaccuracy of the information in this book, but as a medical student and engineer and interested reader, I can say it is not a smooth read. You must wade through many wordy paragraphs to find small nuggets of poorly organized information. I find it difficult to believe that this was a "report" — you certainly can’t dial up any desired info very easily by checking the table of contents — you have to really hunt for stuff, and then may find yourself disappointed with the lack of detail that results.
It is certainly a reasonable addition to a personal library for those interested in the topic, but it is by no means a solid reference.
The government’s theory is that these periodic "We’re sorry and it will never happen again" blue ribbon committees will assuage the public and make us forget the outrage. Read it and then ask, "Why wasn’t anyone sentenced to life in prison for crimes against humanity?"
