Casey A. Huegel is an adjunct professor of environmental studies at the University of Cincinnati and a public historian with the National Park Service.

"This is an ideal book for both specialists and lay readers curious about the interplay between local, state, and federal politics regarding nuclear weapons and human health. . . . Huegel's history suggests that at least some of today's public mistrust of the federal government can be traced to these battles over nuclear weapons production and environmental safety. Yet this well-written history is overall, and refreshingly, one of success. A timely book indeed."
