Delighted to announce that my new book about the Operation CROSSROADS shipwrecks lying at the bottom of the remote Bikini Atoll lagoon will be released on 30 March 2026. After Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world knew what devastation an atomic bomb wrought upon cities – but how would the most important ships of a Navy stand up to an air burst and to an underwater burst? The U.S. Navy would find out at Bikini Atoll with the Test ABLE and Test BAKER devices in 1946 – and today the shipwreck legacy of those Tests lies silently on the bottom of the Bikini lagoon.
This new book features detailed new wreck illustrations by Rob Ward and underwater photography by Ewan Rowell and Mike & Becca Boring. Pre-orders are now available at major online bookshops
