Book Reviews of Meltdown: A Race Against Nuclear Disaster at Three Mile Island: A Reporter's Story

Book Review: It's the Reporter's Story
Summary: 1 Stars

If you're wanting to find out exactly what went wrong at TMI, this is not the book for you. What it does cover is the reporter's own story of him trying to find out what was happening and how he reported it. Seemingly ignorant of how nuclear power stations work, it is typical journalist over-simplification for the masses.
Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
