Description



About the Book



"The Atoms for Peace programme was adopted in Russia to help the Soviet Union overtake the West's nuclear power superiority. Instead it resulted in the creation of a radioactive cloud that terrified the entire world. What led to the catastrophe at Chernobyl in April 1986 is a complex question: strict authoritarian policies, impossible deadlines, a lack of money and materials, pervasive bureaucracy and political corruption all played their part in the largest nuclear catastrophe in history. This graphic and harrowing account of the disaster follows the dozens of human stories cruelly affected by the tragedy. From the engineers and firefighters to doctors and soldiers, the children and families in the surrounding towns and villages to the animals in the forests--they all make up the story of Chernobyl, a mosaic of victims who paid the price for distant politicians' ambition and arrogance."--

About the Author



Matyás Namai studied graphic design at the Skola Michael in Prague. He has contributed to the magazines ABC (The Master of Shaolin, The Millennium Thief) and Playboy (Ironic Applause). His comics and graphic novels aim to sensitively reveal the psychology of their characters, using a filmic sense of dramatic editing and a feel for detail. Matyás' favourite hobby is roasting bacon over a fire.
