The Nuclear Age

Praise for the Work of Serhii Plokhy Chernobyl Roulette "Extraordinary. . . . No one else was better placed to tell the tale of the 35 days of the Russian occupation of Chernobyl." - Tim Judah, Financial Times "Gripping, thriller-like. . . . 'Chernobyl Roulette' offers [Serhii Plokhy's] penetrating insight." - The Economist The Russo-Ukrainian War "Compelling. . . . erudite, objective and immensely readable." - Ben Hall, Financial Times "An utterly compelling account, deeply personal, persuasively authoritative, surely the must-read book for this challenging moment." - Philippe Sands, author of East West Street Atoms and Ashes "Frightening. . . . With catastrophic climate change bearing down on us, nuclear power has been promoted by some as an obvious solution, but this sobering history urges us to look hard at that bargain for what it is." - Jennifer Szalai, New York Times Nuclear Folly "Superb. . . . Engrossing and terrifying, surely one of the most important books ever written about the Cuban Missile Crisis and 20th-century international relations." - James Rosen, Wall Street Journal
