About the Author
Sue Rabbitt Roff represented human rights organizations at the United Nations in New York throughout the 1980s, with particular reference to peace and security issues in small states and territories. Since 1991 she has been teaching social sciences and medical sociology at Dundee University Medical School, including courses on Health Hazards of Ionising Radiation and Organophosphate-based Pesticides. Her interest in the health hazards of nuclear weapons was probably aroused by growing up in Australia in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1970s she met many Palauans and Marshallese and became aware of the impact of the United States nuclear tests on their health and reproductive outcomes. She is currently studying the health status of members of British Nuclear Tests Veterans Association on a Senior Research Fellowship funded by the late Dame Catherine Cookson Foundation. Her publications include Overreaching in Paradise: US Policy in Palau since 1945 (Juneau, AK: Denali Press, 1990); Timor's Anschluss: Indonesian and Australian Policies in East Timor 1974-76 (Lampeter: Edwin Mellen Press, 1992) and Hotspots: The Legacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (London and New York: Cassell, 1995).
