Emphasis Preaching Journal

Susan Roy wrote a book that studied the history of the fallout shelter, titled Bamboozled: How the U.S. Government Misled Itself and Its People Into Believing They Could Survive a Nuclear Attack. The summary of the book is that nuclear bombs are so powerful and radiation so long-lasting that even the best-built and best-stocked fallout shelter would prove ineffective. This lesson really became apparent to Roy when she visited the Nevada test site where experimental nuclear bombs were detonated. The test site is larger than the state of Rhode Island.
