'A necessary book – and I can think of no writer better qualified
to write it' Cal Flyn What if Chernobyl was just the beginning?The
acclaimed winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize returns to Chernobyl
to tell the gripping story of thirty-five days of warOn 24 February
2022, the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
armoured vehicles approached the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in
northern Ukraine. It was the most direct way for them to reach the
capital - and an extraordinarily reckless plan after the disaster
that had taken place there three decades earlier. Russian
occupation of the plant had begun.It would last thirty-five days.
Closely reported and narrated from multiple perspectives, this is
the story of the Ukrainians who were held hostage and worked shifts
for weeks instead of days to spare the world a new nuclear
accident. We meet Valentyn Heiko, the foreman who had also been
there for the clean-up of the Chernobyl accident in 1986 and turned
sixty during the occupation, plant workers who found a way to
celebrate International Women’s Day despite all odds, Russian
officers who had no knowledge of nuclear reactors, and four
stalkers who were caught in the middle and stood in for the
overworked cook.Gripping and unforgettable, Chernobyl Roulette
sounds the alarm about the dangers of nuclear sites in an
unprecedented time, when plant workers are left to fight on their
own while the world holds its breath. In a book that reads like a
thriller, Serhii Plokhy tells a remarkable story about human
nature, uncertainty and courage.
