Maralinga The Chilling Expose of Our Secret Nuclear Shame and Betrayal of Our Troops and Country by F. Walker
Maralinga The Chilling Expose of Our Secret Nuclear Shame and Betrayal of Our Troops and Country by F. Walker
Today it is almost unbelievable that atomic bombs were detonated in the Australian countryside.
But during the 1950s-60s, with the blessing of Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies the British exploded 12 atomic bombs on Australian soil - Monte Bello Islands, Emu Field, and Maralinga.
Even more shocking, was the fact that 16,000 Australian serviceman were used as guinea pigs. RAAF were told to fly through the nuclear laden clouds and soldiers were instructed to walk into radioactive Ground Zero ground. None were told of the dangers that they faced.
Secret monitoring stations were set up around Australia to measure radiation levels, bones from dead bodies were retrieved to check for contamination.
This is an investigative book which should be of interest to every Australian.
