Book Reviews of Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster

Book Review: Devastation Illuminated and Personalized
Summary: 5 Stars

The facts of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl trickled out from east to west slowly at first. With the publication of this book, the historian puts a megaphone to the voices of the people who lived through the initial disaster, and who continue to live it in various ways. This is an important book that should not be missed.
