Summary

The best-selling author presents a heart-pounding account of the world's greatest nuclear disaster, based on sources not available before the fall of the Soviet Union. Read's enthralling account is filled with acts of courage - and also bumbling confusion, secrecy, lies, and coverups. Read spent many months in Russia interviewing hundreds of survivors and experts.

Worst yet about chernobyl

This isn't a book as such written by a person it's bits the writer has pieced together from different books and sources. Kept waiting for it to get better but it doesn't. A lot of random information which has no bearing on the story it's shocking and that's me being honest. I'd avoid this as you will be disappointed I promise
