Returns Simplified.The official death toll of the 1986 Chernobyl accident, ‘the worst nuclear disaster in history’, is only 54, and stories today commonly suggest that nature is thriving there. Yet award-winning historian Kate Brown uncovers a much more disturbing story, one in which radioactive isotopes caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the magnitude of this human and ecological catastrophe has been actively suppressed. Based on a decade of archival and on-the-ground research, ‘Manual for Survival’ is a gripping expos of the consequences of nuclear radiation in the wake of Chernobyl – and the plot to cover up the truth. As Brown discovers, Soviet scientists, bureaucrats, and civilians documented staggering increases in cases of birth defects, child mortality, cancers and a multitude of life-altering diseases years after the disaster.
