This illustrated booklet describes the tragic events of April 26, 1986 when the world’s worst ever nuclear power station accident at Chernobyl, Kiev Region, Ukraine made tens of thousands of people leave their homes in fear of the invisible yet deadly enemy. Using witness accounts and a wealth of factual material, the author vividly recreates the atmosphere of the first days after the breakdown with their anxiety and selfless heroism, and of the recovery operations which have no precedent in history.
