For decades, the US military has been contaminating the Pacific region with toxic substances. Service members, their families, and residents have been exposed--but the US has long hidden the damage and ignored victims. This explosive book reveals the extent of contamination in the Pacific and the lengths the Pentagon will go to conceal it.

Jon Mitchell is an investigative journalist with the Okinawa Times and winner of the 2015 Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan's lifetime achievement award for press freedom. His work has featured in reports for the US Congress and Japanese parliament; it has also helped US veterans exposed to contamination in Japan to win compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. US authorities--including the State Department and Department of Defense--have repeatedly attempted to block Mitchell's work, prompting condemnation from international press freedom groups. He lives in Japan.

John W. Dower is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II.
