During the darkest days of the Cold War, in the remote wilderness of a South Australian desert, the future of an infant nation is being decided . . . without its people's knowledge. A British airbase in the middle of nowhere; an atomic weapons testing ground; an army of raw youth, led by powerful and ambitious men, make a cocktail for disaster. Such is Maralinga in the spring of 1956. Maralinga is also a story of love; a love so strong that it draws the adventurous young English journalist Elizabeth Hoffman half way around the world in search of the truth. And Maralinga is a story of the heartbreak brought to the innocent First Australians who had walked their land unhindered for forty thousand years. Maralinga . . . a desolate place, a dangerous place, where history demands an emerging nation choose between hell and reason!
