Seller Description
E arly in the morning of April 26, 1986, Reactor Number Four of the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station exploded, triggering history's worst nuclear accident. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews conducted over the course of more than ten years, as well as letters, unpublished memoirs, and documents from recently declassified archives, Adam Higginbotham has written a gripping and compelling story that brings the disaster to life through the eyes of the men and women who witnessed it firsthand. The result is a chronicle of astonishing heroics and maddening incompetence, a study of the promise of science and also its potential to lure us into hubris and danger, and the definitive account of an event that changed history: a story that is more complex, more human, and more terrifying than the Soviet myth.
