"Que sont devenus les anciens soldats et travailleurs ayant participé aux essais nucléaires menés par la France au Sahara et en Polynésie dès le début des années 1960 ? Certains d'entre eux sont récemment sortis de l'oubli et se sont rappelés au souvenir de l'État. Ils se sont mobilisés afin d'obtenir réparation pour le préjudice qu'ils estiment avoir subi du fait de leur exposition à la radioactivité. Avec eux, un certain passé, celui de la "grande aventure de la bombe", est retombé et c'est une autre histoire qui commence à s'écrire, celle de ses victimes. Mais que signifie pour ces anciens soldats le fait de "devenir" victime ? En suivant au plus près la lutte à la fois juridique et politique menée par ces "vétérans des essais nucléaires", ce livre met en lumière le caractère complexe et ambivalent de tout processus de victimisation. Car comme le montre ce cas exemplaire, les victimes elles-mêmes éprouvent parfois de grandes difficultés à endosser complètement ce statut qu'elles ont pourtant revendiqué. Tel est le paradoxe de la victime."--Page 4 of cover.

"On July 16, 1945, just weeks before the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that brought about the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II, the United States unleashed the world's first atomic bomb at the Trinity testing site located in the remote Tularosa Valley in south-central New Mexico. Immensely more powerful than any weapon the world had seen, the bomb's effects on the surrounding and downwind communities of plants, animals, birds, and humans have lasted decades. In The First Atomic Bomb Janet Farrell Brodie explores the history of the Trinity test and those whose contributions have rarely, if ever, been discussed-the men and women who constructed, served, and witnessed the first test-as well as the downwinders who suffered the consequences of the radiation. Concentrating on these ordinary people, laborers, ranchers, and Indigenous peoples who lived in the region and participated in the testing, Brodie corrects the lack of coverage in existing scholarship on the essential details and everyday experiences of this globally significant event. The First Atomic Bomb also covers the environmental preservation of the Trinity test site and compares it with the wide range of atomic sites now preserved independently or as part of the new Manhattan Project National Historical Park. Although the Trinity site became a significant node for testing the new weapons of the postwar United States, it is known today as an officially designated national historic landmark. Brodie presents a timely, important, and innovative study of an explosion that carries special historical weight in American memory"-- "Janet Farrell Brodie explores the Trinity test and those whose contributions have rarely, if ever, been discussed-the men and women who constructed, served, and witnessed the first test, as well as the downwinders who suffered the consequences of the radiation"--
