An incredibly emotive collection of personal accounts from the Chernobyl disaster. There are testimonies from people of all walks of life: scientists, rural grandmothers, wives of first responders, communist loyalists, doctors, resettlers, politicians, and those who came in to do damage control (risking their lives in the process).
The story unfolds piece by piece, and each voice adds to the rich tapestry. The author does not shy away from including perspectives that are distasteful to us in the west and in the 21st century, and I think this is necessary and good. This tragedy was the result of human tensions - to brush tensions under the rug and write a single sided story would do it a disservice.
