Atoms and Ashes
From Bikini Atoll to Fukushima
Langbeschreibung
Serhii Plokhy tells the tale of the six nuclear disasters: Bikini Atoll, Kyshtym, Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. Plokhy traces the arc of each crisis, exploring the confused decision-making on the ground and the panicked responses of governments to contain the crises and often cover up the scale of the catastrophe.
Serhii Plokhy is the author of Chernobyl: History of a Tragedy, which won the Baillie Gifford Prize and the Pushkin House Book Prize, and the New York Times bestseller The Gates of Europe. His many acclaimed books, including The Russo-Ukrainian War, Nuclear Folly and Atoms and Ashes, have been translated into over a dozen languages. He is Professor of History at Harvard University where he also serves as Director of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute.
