    Edition: First US printing.

    New York: Basic Books (HarperCollins), (1993) dj. Hardcover first edition - A book by the chief engineer of the Chernobyl nuclear plant at the time of its construction (in 1970) which "relates the grim aftermath of the 1986 disaster and the attempted cover-up by the Gorbachev regime. Medvedev. . . emphasizes that authorities knew about, and covered up, pre-Chernobyl nuclear accidents and near-accidents (particularly the Chelyabinsk explosion in the late 1950s), and he indicates that a combination of secrecy, neglect, ignorance, and bureaucratic callousness prevented responsible officials from anticipating or doing much about potential accidents at other Soviet nuclear facilities."
