The Story of Chernobyl
Piers Paul Read
PART ONE
THE NEW CIVILIZATION
This fundamental transformation of the social order the substitution of planned production for community consumption, instead of the capitalist profit-making of so-called Western Civilisation seems to me so vital a change for the better, so conducive to the progress of humanity to high levels of health and happiness, virtue and wisdom, as to constitute a new civilisation.
Sidney and Beatrice Webb
The Truth About Soviet Russia
(1942)
PART TWO
CHERNOBYL
For man must strive, and striving he must err.
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Faust, Part I (1801)
PART THREE
RADIOPHOBIA
Ideas that have outlived their day may hobble about the world for years, but it is hard for them ever to lead and dominate life. Such ideas never gain complete possession of a man, or they gain possession only of incomplete people.
Alexander Herzen
