An in depth look at the stories of firefighters, scientists, and soldiers who worked
to extinguish the nuclear inferno of Chernobyl identifies the flaws of the Soviet
nuclear industry ; April 26, 1986. Europe witnessed the worst nuclear disaster in
history: the explosion of a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet
Ukraine. Dozens died of radiation poisoning, fallout contaminated half the continent,
and thousands fell ill. Plokhy tells the dramatic stories of the firefighters, scientists,
and soldiers who heroically extinguished the nuclear inferno. He lays bare the flaws
of the Soviet nuclear industry, and in doing so traces the disaster to the authoritarian
character of Communist party rule, the regime's control of scientific information,
and its emphasis on economic development over all else. -- adapted from jacket
