Title: Nuclear Nebraska
Description: "Nestled in lush, sprawling Boyd County, Butte seemed a paradise, of sorts, where people never got angry or defied authority. But in 1989, wwhentheir own state and federal governments tried to manipulate them into accepting an unsafe (and ultimately unnecessary) "low level" nuclear waste dump in their own backyard, this poor, elderly, and llargelyuneducated farming community fought back, and fought harder than anyone had ever anticipated. This little town was about to prove that they could not be bought, no matter how large the bribe."--Cover.
