Seller's Description:
Good, good. 317, illus., notes, disaster chronology, index, minor wear and soiling to DJ, small chip to front endpaper. Oberg investigates modern disasters in the Soviet Union, from space shots, to industrial catastrophes, to pollution, floods, and fires. What really happened, why were they covered up, and how were they finally discovered? Long before the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl, the Soviet Union suffered a long series of technological catastrophes which have been carefully hidden from the outside world. Jim Oberg has done a remarkable job of detective work in ferreting out dozens of these incidents over the last 50 years.
