520 1  Grappling with the Bomb is a history of Britain's 1950s 
       program to test the hydrogen bomb, code name Operation 
       Grapple. In 1957-58, nine atmospheric nuclear tests were 
       held at Malden Island and Christmas Island--today, part of
       the Pacific nation of Kiribati. Nearly 14,000 troops 
       travelled to the central Pacific for the UK nuclear 
       testing program--many are still living with the health and
       environmental consequences.    Based on archival research 
       and interviews with nuclear survivors, Grappling with the 
       Bomb presents i-Kiribati woman Sui Kiritome, British 
       pacifist Harold Steele, businessman James Burns, Fijian 
       sailor Paul Ah Poy, English volunteers Mary and Billie 
       Burgess and many other witnesses to Britain's nuclear 
       folly.
