About this book
Piers Paul Read reconstructs the Chernobyl disaster through the experiences of the people who operated the reactor, fought the emergency and lived with its aftermath. Drawing on interviews and records opened after the Soviet Union's collapse, he examines how technical failure, secrecy and political authority combined to shape the catastrophe and its response.
