Between 1946 and 1958, the United States conducted some 66 nuclear bomb tests in the Marshall Islands. Day of Two Suns is a shocking and timely study of the story of a displaced people contaminated by nuclear fallout, forcibly resettled as their own islands become uninhabitable, and reduced to lives of poverty, ill-health, and dependence. It is also a stirring account of the Marshall Islanders themselves-their resilience and protests and attempts to seek redress in the courts.Review Quotes
A well-researched study.
Both analytical and humanistic. Highly recommended.
Day of Two Suns gives light as well as heat.... Her book is a real achievement.
Dibblin's well-researched and well-written book brings out the human dimension of the nuclear testing issue.
The reader feels in the presence of thoughtful individuals...they bear witness to the folly of nuclear weaponry.
