<div><i><b></b></i> <br><b>Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award</b><br><i></i> <br>On April 26, 1986, the worst nuclear reactor accident in history occurred in Chernobyl and contaminated as much as three quarters of Europe. <i>Voices from Chernobyl</i> is the first book to present personal accounts of the tragedy. Journalist Svetlana Alexievich interviewed hundreds of people affected by the meltdown---from innocent citizens to firefighters to those called in to clean up the disaster---and their stories reveal the fear, anger, and uncertainty with which they still live. Comprised of interviews in monologue form, <i>Voices from Chernobyl</i> is a crucially important work, unforgettable in its emotional power and honesty.<br></div>
