The U.S. government conducted experiments using advanced nuclear weapons during the Cold War, exposing soldiers and civilians to radioactivity, which caused them to suffer from cancer. In this book, veterans informed the authorities that their bodies had been used as human guinea pigs. Orville E. Kelly, former Master Sergeant of the Army and author of this book, denounces the suppression of this by high-ranking American government officials. Kelly died of lymphatic gland cancer.
