Description
On the night of April 26, 1986, reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was destroyed—this became the beginning of one of the largest nuclear disasters in world history. Journalist Adam Higginbotham, drawing on years of research, interviews, personal letters, previously unpublished recollections, and recently declassified documents, created a compelling, gripping work that lets readers see the Chernobyl tragedy through the eyes of witnesses. This book is a masterful documentary thriller, providing a complete account of the event that changed the course of history—turning out to be more complex, more human, and more frightening than the familiar myths about Chernobyl.
“Chernobyl: The Story of the Disaster” is a deep portrait of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century, as well as evidence of human resilience and ingenuity. It reflects the hard lessons humanity learned from attempts to control nature—lessons that, amid climate change and other modern threats, become not just important, but vital.
