Chernobyl: History of the Disaster
14.99 €
On the night of April 26, 1986, Reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded, triggering one of the worst nuclear disasters in history.
Drawing on more than a decade of research, hundreds of interviews, personal correspondence, unpublished memoirs, and recently declassified archival documents, journalist Adam Higginbotham has written a haunting and gripping account of the Chernobyl disaster through the eyes of its first witnesses.
The result is a masterfully crafted documentary thriller, a definitive account of an event that changed history – one that is far more complex, human, and terrifying than the myth of Chernobyl we have become accustomed to.
Chernobyl: History of a Disaster is an indelible portrait of one of the 20th century's great disasters and a document of human resilience and ingenuity, a testament to the hard lessons humanity has learned in its quest to bend nature to its will—lessons that, in the face of advancing climate change and other modern threats, seem not just important, but vital.
