Book Synopsis
The Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) was formed in 1946 in Japan in order to monitor the medical effects of radiation on the survivors of the two atomic bombs. This analysis of the ABCC's research argues that Cold War politics and cultural values fundamentally shaped the work of the ABCC.
