The shocking story of an impending nuclear devastation and the brave people who fought against it
In 1958, Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb, unveiled his plan to detonate six nuclear bombs off the Alaskan coast to create a new harbor. However, the plan was blocked by a handful of Eskimos and biologists who succeeded in preventing massive nuclear devastation potentially far greater than that of the Chernobyl blast. The Firecracker Boys is a story of the U.S. government''s arrogance and deception, and the brave people who fought against it-launching America''s environmental movement. As one of Alaska''s most prominent authors, Dan O''Neill brings to these pages his love of Alaska''s landscape, his skill as a nature and science writer, and his determination to expose one of the most shocking chapters of the Nuclear Age.
