Elizabeth Tynan: Nuclear Archipelago

What lessons can we learn from our historical fascination with, and fear of, nuclear warfare? Since 2016, renowned author and academic Elizabeth Tynan has been chronicling the history of British nuclear testing in Australia, and Nuclear Archipelago is the final book in her landmark trilogy on the subject. In telling the little-known story of the Western Australian weapons tests conducted in the 1950s, Tynan reveals the environmental and political fallout that lingers long into the twenty-first century.
