Immensely more powerful than any weapon the world had seen, the bomb's effects on the surrounding and downwind communities of plants, animals, birds, and humans have lasted decades. In The First Atomic Bomb Janet Farrell Brodie explores the history of the Trinity test and those whose contributions have rarely, if ever, been discussed-the men and women who constructed, served, and witnessed the first test-as well as the downwinders who suffered the consequences of the radiation. Concentrating on these ordinary people, laborers, ranchers, and Indigenous peoples who lived in the region and participated in the testing, Brodie corrects the lack of coverage in existing scholarship on the essential details and everyday experiences of this globally significant event. The First Atomic Bomb also covers the environmental preservation of the Trinity test site and compares it with the wide range of atomic sites now preserved independently or as part of the new Manhattan Project National Historical Park. Although the Trinity site became a significant node for testing the new weapons of the postwar United States, it is known today as an officially designated national historic landmark. Brodie presents a timely, important, and innovative study of an explosion that carries special historical weight in American memory"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Nuclear weapons testing victims $z Socorro County. $z Socorro County. 650 0 $a Radiation injuries $z Socorro County. $z Socorro County. 650 0 $a Atomic bomb $x Testing. 651 0 $a Trinity Site (N.M.) $x History. 650 6 $a Victimes d'essais nucleÌaires $z Socorro (ComteÌ) $z Socorro (ComteÌ) 650 6 $a Mal des rayons $z Socorro (ComteÌ) $z Socorro (ComteÌ) 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / Nuclear Warfare. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Atomic bomb $x Testing $2 fast 650 7 $a Nuclear weapons testing victims $2 fast 650 7 $a Radiation injuries $2 fast 651 7 $a New Mexico $z Socorro County $2 fast 651 7 $a New Mexico $z Trinity Site $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 830 0 $a America's public lands. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240201010300.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=962594CAC0CF11EE81BF3A115DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
