Brilliant... Plokhy is uniquely qualified to write this book... an extended and deeply informed piece of reportage, that raises some fundamental questions about nuclear power plant safety in wartime... Out of this tense situation Plokhy draws a parable for intelligent opposition to occupation Roger Boyes The Times
