Adam Higginbotham has written a harrowing and compelling narrative which brings the 1986 disaster to life through the eyes of the men and women who witnessed it firsthand. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews conducted over the course of more than ten years, as well as letters, unpublished memoirs, and documents from recently-declassified archives, this book makes for a masterful non-fiction thriller.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eChernobyl has become lodged in the collective nightmares of the world: shorthand for the spectral horrors of radiation poisoning, for a dangerous technology slipping its leash, for ecological fragility, and for what can happen when a dishonest and careless state endangers not only its own citizens, but all of humanity.
