520 On April 25, 1986, the worst nuclear reactor accident in
history occurred in Chernobyl. Until now, all of the books
published in English focused on the facts, names, and
data. Voices from Chernobyl presents first-hand accounts
of what happened to the people of Belarus and the fear,
anger, and uncertainty that they lived through. In order
to give a voice to their experiences, Svetlana Alexievich-
-a journalist by trade--interviewed hundreds of people who
had been affected by the meltdown. From innocent citizens
to firefighters to those called in to clean up the
disaster, Voices from Chernobyl is a crucial document of
what happened and how people reacted to it. Alexievich
presents these interviews in monologue form, giving
readers a harrowing inside view into the minds of the
affected people untempered by government spin, accusations,
or judgements, leaving the reader with just the life-
shattering pain of living through such an event and its
aftermath.
