"Fascinating . a compelling message about a crucial questionone so crucial that it bears on the survival of the earth." --Noam Chomsky "Eloquent and haunting . Its searing tableau of immense destruction and decades of danger ahead is all the more relevant today as warfare sweeps back and forth across another country dotted with nuclear power plants, Ukraine." --Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost and American Midnight "Excellent . I would recommend this book to anyone who is as concerned as I am about the ongoing pressure of the international nuclear lobby to construct hundreds of reactors globally as the 'answer' to global warming." --Helen Caldicott, co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility and nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize " Return to Fukushima is a powerful examination of the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant and all of the missteps before and after that created this terrible tragedy. It is an indictment of the entire nuclear power industry and a warning to humanity at a time when the industry is trying to sell itself as a solution to the climate crisis.

" --Ira Helfand, Past President of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, the recipient of the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize "Return to Fukushima paints a vivid picture of the ongoing Fukushima disaster and the lives of thousands of people upended by the events of March 2011. It exposes the role of the Japanese government in building the nuclear infrastructure that devastated the region. As long as governments around the world refuse to recognize that catastrophic accidents involving nuclear reactors are inevitable--even if infrequent--and continue building new plants, we will likely witness more zones of devastation. This book, thus, offers a preview of potential future suffering." --M.V. Ramana, Simons Chair in Disarmament, Global and Human Security at the University of British Columbia. "Return to Fukushima captures the voices of people who are not just victims but survivors of this ongoing nuclear disaster.

Thomas Bass has done a wonderful job in bringing their profound messages to the world." --Caitlin Stronell, Citizens' Nuclear Information Center, Tokyo "Japan continues to accept levels of radiation exposure for its people that are without precedent. This book explains how the Fukushima nuclear disaster is far from over and how we ignore its lessons at our peril." --Tilman Ruff, Nobel laureate, co-president of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War "This book is a very useful corrective to the Japanese government's immoral efforts to whitewash the Fukushima tragedy and to persuade Japanese people to accept more nuclear power. Thomas Bass is a fine writer as he guides us through this compelling story." --Ian Fairlie, former UK official and consultant to the European Union on radiation risks from nuclear power plants "This book will show you, with remarkable concision, how Japanese officials are pushing the 'recovery' of Fukushima with little care for citizens' well-being, let alone any willingness to acknowledge responsibility. So much for any "lessons" learned from the disaster, as Japan prepares to re-open its reactors and dump tons of nuclear waste into the Pacific." --Norma Field, Distinguished Service Professor in Japanese Studies, University of Chicago "Return to Fukushima clearly, calmly, and crisply describes this vast nuclear, social, and environmental disaster, its preventable causes, its continuing misrepresentation, and why a sensible least-cost energy policy wouldn't have adopted nuclear power in the first place.
