Udall, Stewart L.. The Myths of August: A Personal Exploration of Our Tragic Cold War Affair with the Atom . New York, Pantheon Books, 1994.
After the Hiroshima bombing, the atomic age was born. In spite of many Americans' expectation of the new era, the author claims that millions of people have been exposed to toxic radiation because of the secret government security policy during the Cold War. The author is a former congressman, Secretary of the Interior under Kennedy and Johnson, and a longtime lawyer for victims of radiation exposure. 広島への原爆投下以後、核時代が始まった。米国人の抱いた新時代への期待は幻想で、米国の安全のために進められた冷戦下の秘密政策が何百万の被曝者を生み出したと指摘する。筆者はケネディー、ジョンソン政権時の内務長官。放射線被曝者の弁護士を長年務めた。`
