The United States tested 67 nuclear weapons in the Marshall Islands between 1946 and 1958 — including Castle Bravo, the largest US nuclear test ever, which contaminated entire atolls and irradiated their populations. Barker spent years with the Marshallese communities dealing with the ongoing health consequences, the inadequate compensation, the continued US military presence on their land. The most important dispatch from inside America's nuclear colonialism in the Pacific — the story of what the US did to the people whose islands it decided were expendable for weapons testing.
