Two excellent books for sale through APC

Beyond Belief. The British Bomb Tests: Australia's Veterans Speak Out, by Roger Cross and Avon Hudson.

The book gives a long-ignored voice to the veterans of the British atomic bomb tests conducted in Australia during the 1950s and 1960s. Their chilling stories raise many disturbing questions, both about what happened then, and the effects on their lives in the decades that have passed. Price: $20 incl. p&p.

Talking Straight Out. Stories from the Irati Wanti campaign.

In February 1998 the Federal Government announced its plan to build a national radioactive waste dump in the South Australian desert. In March a council of senior Aboriginal women from Coober Pedy, the Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta, made an announcement of their own. "We say no radioactive waste dump in our ngura - in our country." For 6 years the women travelled the country, talking straight out. They called their campaign Irati Wanti - the poison, leave it. They won. Now they want to share their stories with you. Price: $30 incl. p&p.
