For a dollar book to increase to the amount charged, is a bit much. Won't buy from seller again.

A true story

This is a great old book, and I am gifting it to my son in law who lives in Bellingham. Ironically it arrived purchased from the Bellingham Public Library! It is a true story about Japanese tuna fishermen who suffered radiation from the US' experimenting with the H Bomb. Of course the USA never confessed to having hurt these men, although they did offer them financial support.

The Lucky Dragon is a timeless book.

I read this book in 1972 and it has has left a lifelong impression on me. Read while researching the effects of radiation exposure as a X-ray Technology student, I found myself reading the book cover to cover. The story was well written and researched with photos detailing the ordeal of the innocent fishermen caught in the Atomic Bomb on Japan during WWII. The author goes into details of the medical consequences of the radiation exposure, and the psychological consequences of the Bomb. The book will impress upon the reader the importance of nuclear disarmament.

This is the story of a Japanese fishing boat that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and was close enough to one of the US's nuclear blasts in the Pacific atolls near Bikini. I had never heard about this, and considering it happened shortly after WWII, it was extremely frightening to the Japanese people when they found out about it. However, the problem was much larger than just what happened to those fishermen - much of the fish that was brought in to Japan after that was radioactive. For a country whose diet includes a lot of fish, it was a disaster. It caused a rift between the US and Japan just when relations were getting better. When the US "settled, but accepted no blame", the small amount of money that was tendered to Japan by the US ( to cover all the loses to the fishing industry, and the hospitalization for over a year of the fishermen (except the one that died), and to provide settlement money to the fishermen since their health no longer really permitted them to perform the rigorous jobs they had done previously) was absolutely shameful ! The book was very enlightening - and it is certainly nothing I'd ever heard of until I read, "Killing Our Own", definitely also a book to read.
