Book Reviews of The Truth About Chernobyl
Book Review: "Counting lives" meant "killing people"
Summary: 4 Stars
Those who wish to hide the truth delight
in creating new vocabulary to hide behind.
On p 234, Medvedev writes:
"...the phrase 'counting lives' had
acquired a new meaning." The meaning
was the number of men to be killed
in a procedure being considered.
However, I was disappointed he didn't
mention "bio-robots," the euphemism for
men sent to handle the fuel rods w/o
any protection.
I agree with other reviews that the
author (a) is a good writer and the
story moves right along, and (b) he
assumes that the readers knows a bit
more about nuclear measurements than
most of us do.
