A Good Day Has No Rain

Plot

In the early 1950's, Cold War tension reached its most fervent level.Despite the risk of exposing innocent Americans to cancer causing radiation, the United States Government decided that domestic atom bomb testing was essential to the national defense. This decision, combined with an extremely violent storm, caused New York's Capital Region to receive excessive amounts of radioactive fallout in April of 1953. Fifty years later, this information is still widely unknown because of government cover-ups. Following 15 years of research, Bill Heller has produced A Good Day Has No Rain which contains what may be the only independent scientific data from these tests. This moving work introduces us to the storm's impact on the region, exposes government deception, and documents the 50-year process in which scientists and journalists gradually uncovered the truth. Teeming with startling facts, A Good Day Has No Rain opens eyes, and forces the reader to consider the dramatic lengths that the U.S.government went to in order to disguise the true impact nuclear testing has had on the American public.
