While the big bad corporation has often been the offender in many of the world's greatest environmental disasters, in the case of the mass poisoning at Camp Lejeune, the culprit is a revered institution: the U.S. Marine Corps. For two decades now, revelations have steadily emerged about pervasive contamination, associated clusters of illness and death among the Marine families stationed there, and military stonewalling and failure to act. The author's investigation creates a suspenseful narrative from the individual stories, scientific evidence, and smoldering sense of betrayal among those whose motto is undying fidelity. He also raises far-reaching and ominous questions about widespread contamination on U.S. military bases worldwide. -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Drinking water $x Contamination $z Camp Lejeune. $z Camp Lejeune. 650 0 $a Groundwater $x History. $z Camp Lejeune $z Camp Lejeune $x History. 650 0 $a Marines $x History. $z Camp Lejeune $z Camp Lejeune $x History. 650 0 $a Families of military personnel $x History. $z Camp Lejeune $z Camp Lejeune $x History. 650 0 $a Poisoning $z Camp Lejeune $z Camp Lejeune $x History. 650 0 $a Environmentally induced diseases $z Camp Lejeune $z Camp Lejeune $x History. 651 0 $a Camp Lejeune (N.C.) $x Environmental conditions. 650 0 $a Water quality management $z Camp Lejeune. $z Camp Lejeune. 650 0 $a Human beings $x Effect of environment on. 610 10 $a United States. $b Marine Corps. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043309.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20150730011638.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A96907E034011E4946EBFBBDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
