520    "A subarctic mine on the far eastern shores of Great Bear 
       Lake provided Canadian uranium for the bombs detonated 
       over Japan in August 1945. However, a complete history of 
       Canada's involvement in the Manhattan project and the 
       development of the atomic bomb has been thwarted by 
       restrictions on classified documents. [This book] 
       overcomes these restrictions in an innovative and 
       unconventional history that assembles a narrative from 
       fragments -- interviews, indigenous stories, archives, and
       physical remains -- while questioning whether it is 
       possible to grasp the past by sifting through what 
       remains. Uncovering the story of the radioactive ore's 
       route from mine to weapon of mass destruction, Peter van 
       Wyck considers the legacy of this history for the Dene 
       community and inquires into trauma, landscape, disaster, 
       and memory. ... weaves together crucial missing pieces 
       about the beginning of the Atomic Age in startling and 
       unexpected ways."--Jacket.
