Description

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. Then again, the plan was once blocked by a handful of Eskimos and biologists who succeeded in preventing massive nuclear devastation potentially some distance 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 individuals who fought against it-launching The us’s environmental movement. As considered one of Alaska’s most prominent authors, Dan O’Neill brings to those pages his love of Alaska’s landscape, his skill as a nature and science creator, and his determination to reveal one of the vital shocking chapters of the Nuclear Age.
