From the publication:
Since the 1960s a small Polynesian island, Moruroa, has become infamous throughout the world as the testing site for the French nuclear bombs. Until recent years few people were clearly aware of the extent to which atomic mushrooms had regularly poisoned these lovely islands, as well as the sky and the sea. Now the health risks resulting from the forty-one atmospheric tests that have been carried out since 1966 have provoked the wrath of all the nations bordering the Pacific. Bengt Danielsson first arrived in the Polynesian islands as a member of Thor Heyerdahl's Kon Tiki raft expedition across the Pacific. The Danielssons have personally witnessed most of the events described in the book, and they have made careful use of documentary material. The result is a damning exposé of the military and the French colonial administration in this crime against the Polynesian people and humanity at large.
