Clouds of Deceit The Deadly Legacy of Britain's Bomb Tests by Joan Smith - 1985

London: Faber & Faber, 1985. First edition. Hardback. Very Good/No Jacket. 317 8vo. Black cloth-covered boards, gilt titles to spine, 176 pages. The effects of testing of British nuclear weapons in Australia and the South Pacific on the people directly involved, on those in the path of the fall-out and of the struggle to have these effects acknowledged. The author, a journalist at the time that Royal Air Force veterans were attempting to have their stories heard of ill-health resulting from taking part in the testing programme, wrote the book because of difficulties she encountered in having stories about this issue published. Condition notes: A little light dust spotting to the top external page edges, otherwise a clean, bright, sound copy. Previous seller's note in pencil to front free end paper.
