This book was about the events that took place at the Chernobyl nuclear facility. Reading this book made me so angry and so speechless at the same time. It was especially disconcerting for me, as I live between two nuclear facilities. The shortcuts in construction on this facility were appalling. The management of this facility was also lacking. Covering up certain things, not being honest with the public, lying about the levels of radiation... it was just horrible. This situation may not have been avoided, because nothing is perfect, but it certainly could have been prevented in a better manner. The book was well researched and it was a good read, but it is staggering to see what people in positions of power get up to, all for the sake of money.
