*Radium Girls* was a good book. I’d follow it up with Lucy Jane Santos’ *Half-Lives,* which is about the broader phenomenon of humanity’s fascination with (and incautious use/marketing of) radium.

*The Worst Hard Time* is about the Dust Bowl
*The Best Land Under Heaven* is about the Donner Party
*The Rape of Nanking* is about the Nanjing Massacre
