The explosion at Chernobyl was not just a technological accident, it was a
psychological nightmare. In Voices of Chernobyl, the Belarussian writer
Svetlana Alexievich recaptures the confusion, fear, anger and heart-rending loss
caused by the radiation that leaked from the burning reactor in 1986. Published
by Aurum Press, £14.99, ISBN 185410649X.
