Making a Real Killing: Rocky Flats and the Nuclear West is a 1999 book by Len Ackland.[1] Ackland draws on information obtained from governmental sources, federal contractors, personal interviews, and newspaper articles to form a multi-layered history about the controversial Rocky Flats nuclear facility.
