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.
