Reviews

"Bombs in the Backyard is a valuable addition to historical literature on the atomic age, providing scholars with a well-documented, comprehensive history of U.S. atomic testing and the political and health issues which have emerged as a result." -Journal of the Southwest; "Titus tells this painful story [of downwinders] with marvelous balance. She threads her way easily through the labyrinths of both the federal bureaucracy and the American legal system, and her explanations are models of lucidity." -Nevada Historical Society Quarterly"
