American Ground Zero - by MIT Press 1993

[Hassasin]

This was an accidental find for me, but both, the story and the photography was well worth it. I have the first printing with photographs done in duotone, quality is great (not sure about paperback versions also available). The book, for those unfamiliar, covered documentary research on effect of above ground nuclear testing in the 50', with stories of a number of individuals affected by them and there is more.

Photographs as far as I an tell, are not credited to anyone (with exception of some first page mention of Dorothea Lange being behind one of them). But to me presented photography greatly augments the story.

Have had a copy of this book for years, in paperback, a great book. A modest number of the photographs are from the historical record and are credited (Dorothea Lange; Dept of Energy; etc), but I'm sure all of the portraits and photography dated as from the 1980s are by the author, Carole Gallagher, unless explicitly credited otherwise.
