520    An unflinching tale that reveals the intentional disregard
       for human and animal life through nuclear testing by the 
       federal government and uranium extraction by mining 
       corporations during and after the Cold War. Sarah 
       Alisabeth Fox highlights the personal cost of nuclear 
       testing and uranium extraction in the American West 
       through extensive interviews with "downwinders," the 
       Native American and non-Native residents of the Great 
       Basin region affected by nuclear environmental 
       contamination and nuclear-testing fallout. These 
       downwinders tell tales of communities ravaged by cancer 
       epidemics, farmers and ranchers economically ruined by 
       massive crop and animal deaths, and Native miners working 
       in dangerous conditions without proper safety equipment so
       that the government could surreptitiously study the 
       effects of radiation on humans. In chilling detail 
       Downwind brings to light the stories and concerns of these
       groups whose voices have been silenced and marginalized 
       for decades in the name of "patriotism" and "national 
       security."--Publisher description.
