Chernobyl: The Final Warning is a moving eyewitness portrait that takes readers from the inner sanctums of Soviet hospitals to the devastated reactor itself. It recreates the drama of international diplomacy - in the limelight and behind the scenes - in a dramatic struggle against death.
In the wake of the Chernobyl disaster, Dr. Gale, an expert on bone marrow transplantation, was summoned to Moscow by Mikhail Gorbachev, then General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, to help by leading a team of international and local physicians in treating the victims.
Despite volunteering to travel to the other side of the world to help aide victims and the team, Gale and the other members of the US-Israeli team had to work under the severe restrictions placed upon them.
In Chernobyl: the Final Warning, the doctor discusses the tragedy, the diseases it would ultimately trigger, the environmental damage caused on a global scale and hope for a safer world.
Dr. Robert Gale gives an eye-opening account of the intrigue and competition between the United States and Soviet Union. Written with Thomas Hauser, this book tells the full story of his historic journey and offers a penetrating analysis of the nature of nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, their development, and the role they will play in our future.
Chernobyl: The Final Warning has been adapted into a much-admired movie starring Jon Voight and Jason Robards. Its message is cold, bleak and urgent, but also one of hope.
NEW! Afterward written in 2020, 34 years after the Chernobyl disaster.
