Chernobyl: History of the Disaster
19.99 €
On the night of April 26, 1986, reactor #4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, beginning one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. Based on more than a decade of work, hundreds of conversations, personal correspondence, unpublished memoirs and recently declassified archival documents, journalist Adam Higginbotham has written a heart-wrenching and gripping work in which we see the Chernobyl disaster through the eyes of its first witnesses. The result is a masterfully crafted documentary thriller, an exhaustive account of an event that changed history - far more complex, human and frightening than the Chernobyl myth to which we are accustomed.
"Chernobyl: The Story of a Catastrophe" - an indelible picture of one of the greatest disasters of the twentieth century and at the same time a document of human resilience and ingenuity, a testament to the hard lessons learned by humanity trying to bend nature to its will - lessons that in the face of the coming climate change and other threats of our time look not just important, but vital.
