The Canadian military began spraying Agent Orange at the Gagetown military base near Oromocto, New Brunswick in 1956. The United States military was looking for a terrain similar to that of Vietnam to test this deadly defoliant. The area around Gagetown suited their purposes and the Canadian government was only too willing to allow the base to be used for testing purposes. The United States military discontinued their tests in the late 1960s, but the Canadian military continued the use of Agent Orange at Gagetown until 1984 - it was cheaper to clear brush and kill trees with Agent Orange then to hire workers to do it with machinery and tools. What was not known at the time was that Agent Orange also killed people. Hundreds of people suffered and died. Cancer and other diseases ran rampant among military personnel and civilians who worked on the base. This book chronicles the horrific stories of families who lost loved ones and recounts their struggle to get compensation for their suffering and loss.
