Third Edition, Revised.

The only detailed investigation published of the explosion in 1957 at the Soviet nuclear waste dump in Chelyabinsk. Only recently, in June of 1989, has the Soviet Union admitted that the disaster occurred. Curiously, the United States, which also knew of the disaster since the 1950's (it was while attempting to photograph the disaster site that the flyer Gary Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union) also failed to admit its occurrence at the time, some say for fear of shaking public confidence in atomic energy during the push for reactor development in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Medvedev's book was an astonishing piece of detective work, and is finally vindicated.
