Sergey Plohyi tells the dramatic story of six of the biggest nuclear disasters to hit humanity in the twentieth century: the Chernobyl accident, the tsunami destruction of Fukushima Daiichi, the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll, the Kishtim accident, the Windscale fire, and the Three Mile Island accident.

Relying on in-depth research and witness testimony, Plochiy traces the unfolding of each crisis, the key decisions of those involved, and the responses of governments that often tried to hide the scale of the disasters. At the same time, the author broadens the focus of the historical perspective by analysing in detail the ideologies, political vectors, and cultures that contributed to the tragic events.
