From the acclaimed investigative author who brought you "Railroad Collisions, A Deadly Story of Mismanaged Risk", environmentalist and safety activist George Swimmer returns with a systematic playbook of understanding the exposure of water contamination faced by Marines at Camp Lejeune Base in North Carolina As a Marine Corps veteran, Swimmer's evident passion for and knowledge about the subject shine through, and he does an excellent job of making military reports and unfamiliar terms understandable for novices. A thoroughly researched investigative journey, Swimmer's "Deadly S.N.A.F.U., Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C." spells out the irrefutable scientific and medical evidence that connects the dots between the decades-long exposure to water contaminants during military service at Camp Lejeune and the development of certain diseases later on. This is an impassioned indictment of the toxic pollutants an estimated 1,000,000 Marines and others drank and washed in and the ineffective notification process experienced by 100,000's of Marines and others. Yet, Swimmer prevails as he focuses on the human spirit that connects all Marines. Semper Fi Deadly S.N.A.F.U., Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C. a review received: Submitted to Writer's Digest Competitions - Self-Published E-book Awards 2020 Deadly S.N.A.F.U. is a model example of the power of self-publishing. This well-researched expos has the potential to impact many lives, and the author's mission to disseminate the information as quickly as possible can be accomplished now because of his willingness to put in the hard work of formatting and publishing the book himself.The target audience is military families that spent time at Camp Lejeune and were exposed to dangerously contaminated water. The author outlines the fundamental facts of when and how the contamination occurred, then goes further to expose neglect in the notification of those affected, and the assumption of responsibility by the government. Families impacted by the events related will find his research invaluable. However, the story is compelling enough that any reader will be caught up in the shocking details, regardless of their affiliation with the military or this particular base.
