Chernobyl. The History of the Catastrophe

In the night of April 26, 1986, reactor No. 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded, marking the beginning of one of the most horrific nuclear disasters in history.
Based on more than a decade of work, recordings of hundreds... of conversations, personal correspondence, unpublished memoirs, and recently declassified archival documents, journalist Adam Higginbotham has written a profoundly moving and gripping work in which we see the Chernobyl disaster through the eyes of its first witnesses.
The result is a masterfully crafted documentary thriller, a comprehensive account of an event that changed history, — far more complex, human, and frightening than the myth of Chernobyl we have come to know.
