Description
April 26, 1986, Reactor Number Four of the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station exploded. In the thirty years since, Chernobyl has become lodged in the collective nightmares of the world: shorthand for the spectral horrors of radiation poisoning, dangerous technology slipping its leash, ecological fragility, and for what can happen when a dishonest and careless state endangers the entire world. But the real story of the accident, clouded from the beginning by secrecy, propaganda, and misinformation, has long remained in dispute. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews conducted over the course of more than ten years, as well as letters, unpublished memoirs, and documents from recently-declassified archives, Adam Higginbotham has written a harrowing and compelling narrative which brings the disaster to life through the eyes of the men and women who witnessed it firsthand. The result is a masterful nonfiction thriller, and the definitive account of an event that changed history. --,Adapted from jacket.
