Operation Buffalo

Operation Buffalo is an espionage thriller set during the British nuclear tests in South Australia in the 1956, when the Menzies government had welcomed British atomic bomb testing at ‘uninhabited’ Maralinga.

An Australian Army engineer and WWII hero is charged with keeping the base functioning smoothly, no easy task given his incompetent commanding officer and the government and press watching his every move, and the Soviets likely watching even more closely.
