It's really entertaining and worth reading, but it's still intentionally biased to almost suggest "a little bit of radiation can be good for you" in a way that smoking was presented in older times by the tobacco companies. And it's not so. An individual can be lucky, but it's not something to be approached with "don't worry". The proofs are in Eileen Welsome's "The Plutonium Files: America's Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plutonium_Files https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plutonium_Files Much more depressing than Mahaffey's book.
