As a Washington state resident, learning about Hanford is a tiny blip in our curriculum. My uncle worked there and I did a big project on nuclear energy in school so I might know a little more than the average person, but I'm truly horrified. Not only by the history, cover ups, lack of funding and oversight, accidents, treatment of natives, and lies, but also all the little side stories the author covers from other parts of the world. It's a must read, not only for people in this area, but for at least half the country that will be affected if there is a disaster. It's Chernobyl in the making.
