Full body burden

Part memoir, part investigative journalism piece, the factual story of the Rocky Flats plutonium trigger plant is woven chronologically with the author's personal account of everyday life living just downwind of the troubled site. Though the subject matter is difficult at times, the writing is thoroughly engaging as it describes yet another example of the tragedies that ensue when human and environmental factors are set aside in the name of secrecy, security, and profit.
