“…a highly valuable testimony that blends personal experience, meticulous historical documentation, and a stirring call for activism.” —Lech Majewski, Polish film producer, poet, author and lecturer

“[Lopez] is probably the world’s most experienced and most interviewed scholar and activist on uranium weapons. His newly published book is…a profound investigation of the military use of depleted uranium.”—Norbert Suchanek and Marcia Gomes de Oliveira, Founders of the International Uranium Film Festival and laureates of the Nuclear-Free Future Award 2025 in Education

In the shadow of the world’s first atomic blast—just miles from his childhood home in Socorro, New Mexico—Damacio Lopez began a lifelong fight against one of the most hidden legacies of modern warfare: depleted uranium weapons.

From his early years in the U.S. Air Force to his groundbreaking research, Lopez traces a path of courage and conviction that spans decades and continents. Through declassified documents, eyewitness accounts, and personal experience, he exposes the devastating human and environmental consequences of uranium munitions—and the global campaign to ban them.

From New Mexico to Iraq, from the United Nations to grassroots movements, Lopez’s story reveals how one determined voice can challenge governments, confront disinformation, and awaken the world to truths buried in silence.

More than a memoir, My Last Battle: A U.S. Air Force Veteran’s Lifelong Mission to Expose and Ban Uranium Weapons is both a historical record and a moral call to action—an urgent appeal to protect future generations from the radioactive remnants of war.
