Book Reviews of Five Past Midnight in Bhopal: The Epic Story of the World's Deadliest Industrial Disaster
Book Review: Friend of the downtrodden
Summary: 5 Stars
On 3rd Dec 1984, over 30,000 people of Bhopal died through cyanide poisoning from the nearby Union Carbide plant. More than 500,000 were seriously injured. Dominique Lapierre's book attempts to provide the inside story on this disaster as well as to provide the point-of-view of those who were most affected, the poor victims. Lapierre attempts to explore the motivations and actions of all parties involved including Union Carbide's management, the victims, the Indian government and the Americans. Actually, this book is a tribute to all those victims who have not received justice in spite of many tall claims that they would. Having read "City of Joy" which made me cringe when I read about the open sewers of Calcutta slums, Lapierre's work on Bhopal makes me feel that this author is a true friend of the downtrodden.
