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.
