{"product_id":"nuclear-archipelago-elizabeth-tynan-9781761170218","title":"Nuclear Archipelago: Secrets, Power and the Biggest Atomic Blast in Australia","description":"Nuclear Archipelago tells the shocking story of the two British atomic weapons test series held at Western Australia's Monte Bello Islands, in 1952 and 1956. Operation Hurricane and Operation Mosaic took place at a rugged archipelago 100 kilometres off the Pilbara coast, and each of the three bombs sent fallout over vast distances across the country. One of the tests, Mosaic G2 in June 1956, the largest nuclear weapon test ever held in Australia, sparked panic at the time that it had been a nuclear accident. The book explores the politics, the secrecy, and the controversies, including the true nature of Mosaic G2 and its role in the clandestine development of the British hydrogen bomb. In both the Mosaic tests, the crew of a British ship was deliberately positioned in the path of fallout. Along with the ongoing effects - this pristine and biodiverse natural environment was desecrated and has never been cleaned up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Tynan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 176117021X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781761170218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e NewSouth Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.02w x 0.72d","brand":"Elizabeth Tynan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50546562695423,"sku":"9781761170218","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nuclear-archipelago-elizabeth-tynan-9781761170218","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
