4.0

History of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, from the construction of the power plant to the political and public health effects decades later. A (traditional) history book investigating the actions and intentions of the decision makers on all levels of the Soviet system from plant managers all the way up to Gorbachev. The author also shows the accident's importance for exposing the flaws of the Soviet system.
