The Secret History of Britain's Cold War Nuclear Experiments (390)

The race to build a British nuclear bomb sucked thousands into its vortex, who are still dealing with the effects of radiation today: veterans, widows, children, scientists and indigenous people, all subjected to fear, radiation, and experimentation. A black cloud still hangs over those who survive, and their descendants who fear the consequences of every fresh pregnancy. But for seven decades the veterans who created it have been denied truth and justice. As the handful of survivors launch a last-ditch legal bid for the answers, I speak with Daily Mirror journalist Susie Boniface whose new book, Exposed: The Secret History of Britain's Nuclear Experiments reveals the full price they paid for our peace and prosperity.
