Why read it?
1 author picked Voices from Chernobyl as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book has gained in popularity, lately, with the publishing of the Chernobyl series on HBO. The stories are haunting, but incredibly important. They show how confusing, secretive, and awful the event was. I chose this book because its philosophy is the same as mine — that this was a major event in history and it must be recorded and preserved so future generations may learn from it. Alexievich has done wonderful work in this tome.
From Veronica's list on incredible real life stories.
