Krátky popis
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Superb, enthralling and necessarily
terrifying . . .every step feels spring-loaded with tension...
extraordinary.' The New York TimesThe story of Chernobyl is more
complex, more human, and more terrifying than the Soviet myth. 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 first-hand.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well as letters, unpublished memoirs, and documents from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. Chernobyl 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. It is a story that has long remained in dispute, clouded
from the beginning in secrecy, propaganda, and
misinformation.Midnight In Chernobyl is an indelible portrait of
history's worst nuclear disaster, of human resilience and ingenuity
and the lessons learned when mankind seeks to bend the natural
world to his will - lessons which, in the face of climate change
and other threats - remain not just vital but necessary. Now,
Higginbotham brings us closer to the truth behind this colossal
tragedy. 'Tells the story of the disaster and its gruesome
aftermath with thriller-like flair .. . wonderful and chilling
...written with skill and passion.' The Observer'An invaluable
contribution to history.' Serhii Plokhy, Evening StandardLONGLISTED
