JOURNEY TO CHERNOBYL: ENCOUNTERS IN THE RADIOACTIVE ZONE

Glenn Cheney arrived in Kiev during those first days when the Soviet Union ceased to exist and Ukraine was reborn. Immediately he found himself talking with scientists, journalists, refugees, engineers, top-level government officials, doctors, environmentalists, parents of sick children and people living just a few kilometers from the Chernobyl complex. The reports of atrocities, epidemics, tyranny and despair blend with a most unusual travelogue, considerable humor and KGB intrigue.
