One of the most beautiful and devastating things I’ve ever read. Perhaps the most beautiful, the most devastating.
railway1721's review against another edition
5.0
I found this book very moving and chilling. I've always been fascinated by large scale disasters, especially if they are covered up. Chernobyl has been a long standing interest and there is so little "known" by the average person about I try to gather as much as I can about the topic.
This book has an account the the events from individuals from the town. From firefighters, to their family members, to towns folk. It's told Through them and is very interesting read. I was often moved to tears by the accounts. While not technical it adds the human aspect, which is lacking in some other books I feel.
I love this book and have retread it many times

saarrr's review against another edition
"In de ochtendstafvergaderingen van de opruimingsdienst werd heel nuchter vastgesteld: 'Dit gaat tien mensenlevens kosten, dat twintig...' En die mensen werden gevonden. Vrijwilligers. Wie kan daarna nog beweren dat kernenergie de goedkoopste energie is?"

De verdad son voces de los muertos, de los heridos, de los sucesos y de la verdad. Todas las películas y los textos en torno a Chernobyl se quedan cortos contra este libro.
Es lo más escalofriante que he leído en mi vida.
