Critical acclaim for the second edition of FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the book, particularly reading the history of Bikini in the words of the people. The book assures that these traditional stories will be available for others to read, but perhaps most importantly, for younger generations of islanders."

--Allen P. Stayman, U.S. Compact of Free Association Negotiator 1999-2001.

"FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND is a compelling account of the troubled history of the people of Bikini Atoll. Niedenthal's skillful use of oral history enables the Bikinians to tell much of their own story, and his personal reflections about that history and his own involvement with the community enrich the account. A welcome and useful contribution to Pacific Islands studies."

--Robert C. Kiste, Director, Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawai'i

"Although Niedenthal peppers the book with his own insights and commentary, it is the words of Bikini elders that tell their story of how 23 American nuclear tests disrupted their lives beginning in 1946."

--Pacific Islands Magazine, March 2002

"For the Good of Mankind is a remarkably unique book..."

--International Monitor Institute, May 2002

"Jack Niedenthal's work is a labor of love..."

--The Contemporary Pacific magazine, Fall 2003

"[For the Good of Mankind] is probably the most complete history of Bikini Island, and will continue to be a reference touchstone for future studies of the Marshall Islands and even the south Pacific...The cultural observations are superb."

--Nick Wreden, Peace Corp Writers Magazine, January 2004

RADIO BIKINI

"An extraordinarily perceptive, haunting, and informative documentary, an outstanding achievement on all levels." -LA TIMES

"Well crafted. POWERFUL." -Variety

Produced and directed by Robert Stone, Radio Bikini is a sensational, eye opening film. With the passing of the Freedom of Information Act, filmmaker Robert Stone was able to acquire this formally top secret footage. Winner of numerous national and international awards, this film won the San Francisco Film Festival's "Golden Gate Award" in the category of "Historical and Political Issues." Radio Bikini recounts the almost too terrifying to be true tradgedy surrounding the Bikini Island "A" Bomb test operations, which were, ironically, to be promoted as the biggest news story of the century. Using rare, never-before-seen archival footage, Radio Bikini unfolds through the eyes of the elderly Chief of the Bikinians and includes comments by a former American serviceman who was there [he died of cancer shortly before the film's completion]. Radio Bikini combines "live" radio broadcasts from Bikini in 1946 with footage of the event as it happened, creating an effect that is both haunting and surreal.

This film is a "must have" for atomic veterans.

In Great Britian, THE GUARDIAN called Radio Bikini "mind boggling...Stone's film is a powerful reminder of the destructiveness of U.S. nuclear policies."
