Amchitka and the Bomb reconstructs thoroughly the decision by the Atomic Energy Commission to use Amchitka Island in the Aleutians as a test site for nuclear missile weaponry... utterly disregarding the fact that the island was a wildlife refuge. It will be an important contribution to environmental and Alaska studies and to national defense studies.
Amchitka and the Bomb is an important, original, and wellcrafted work, one that will find a ready audience because it speaks to some of the main themes currently being explored by historians of Alaska, nuclear weapons and the Cold War.
