On the Home Front: The Cold War Legacy of the Hanford Nuclear Site, Third Edition

“On the Home Front [is] a work of history dispassionately told, thoroughly footnoted, the literary equivalent of a nuclear explosion.”—Michael E. Long, National Geographic

“On the Home Front should be read by everyone concerned with public policy and the environmental issues that dominate this postmodern world.” —William L. Lang, Western Historical Quarterly

“[Gerber’s] skill in reconstructing the story of Hanford's environmental ravages has given us a book that can both alarm and instruct.” —Journal of American History

“A welcome contribution to the growing historiography of the Cold War. . . The questions raised by Gerber about the role of experts and of secrecy in a democracy will hopefully attract the serious attention they so earnestly deserve.”—American Historical Review
