Requests:  0 Summary:  The most important place in American nuclear history are the Marshall Islands--an idyllic Pacific paradise that served as the staging ground for over sixty US nuclear tests. It was here, from 1946 to 1958, that America perfected the weapon that preserved the peace of the post-war years. It was here--with the 1954 Castle Bravo test over Bikini Atoll--that America executed its largest nuclear detonation, a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima. And it was here that a native people became unwilling test subjects in the first large scale study of nuclear radiation fallout when the ashes rained down on powerless villagers, contaminating the land they loved and forever changing a way of life.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 623.45119 Pi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 623.45119 Pi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 623.45119 Pi Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 623.45119 Pincus Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 623.45119 Pi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 623.45119 Pi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 623.45119 Pi Checked out 05/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 623.45119 Pi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 623.45119 Pi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 623.45119 Pi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
