That the Chernobyl disaster contributed decisively - though to an extent yet to be determined - to the public health crisis in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Bulgaria, is the key notion in this book. An intriguing hypothesis that is cogently argued and that has important implications for our future. Fernando J. Garcia Lopez, National Epidemiology Centre, Carlos III Health Institute, Madrid, Spain This book poses that some unknown fraction of the mortality crisis in Eastern Europe could plausibly be due to radioactivity. Its value is in combining the different strands of the argument - including some that are not so well known - to support a hypothesis but not to claim that it is fully proved or disproved by the evidence.
