- This book is based on three years of fieldwork which spans nuclear communities across the world, including Europe, the USA, Japan, China and the Pacific. It is underpinned by substantial fieldwork, including media and archival work and interviews with 150 nuclear test veterans. While it considers the well known sites impacted by nuclear warfare, it also researches harder to reach locations, such as secret nuclear towns in the USA, Micronesia, and the impact on Uighur communities in China. The book won the LHM Ling Outstanding First Book Award for Disarming Doomsday and was shortlisted for the Bread and Roses Award.
