The Chernobyl Disaster

(4) 4-6 History's Greatest Disasters series. This accessible account of the 1986 nuclear disaster relates events chronologically, relaying some history before highlighting the lessons learned by other countries using nuclear power. Forthright on how officials' initial stonewalling and cover-up resulted in many deaths, the matter-of-fact text is supplemented by photos, maps, and informative sidebars. Critical-thinking exercises and prompts to visit the publisher's website are intrusive. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
