Overview

In THE UNFINISHED DISASTER, Joseph Priest uncovers how old dangers remain alive beneath the surface of modern life. At the heart of this book is a simple but hard truth: the systems we trust to keep us safe are far more fragile than we think-especially when they collide with war, politics, neglect, and new weapons. Through clear storytelling and careful research, Priest walks the reader through: How a single strike on a ""protected"" site exposed hidden weaknesses in global safety systems Why shutting down a risky facility does not make the danger disappear How cheap, unmanned weapons and distant decision-makers can turn quiet sites into silent flashpoints The way fear, secrecy, and denial can be as harmful as technical failure What governments and international bodies should do to protect people from threats that do not respect borders This is not a book about one country or one event. It is about a pattern the world keeps repeating: we build complex systems, we trust them, we move on-and then we are shocked when they break in new and painful ways. THE UNFINISHED DISASTER is a warning and a call to action. It shows why old risks return when we stop paying attention, and how conflict can reopen wounds we thought were healed. It asks tough questions about responsibility, honesty, and what it truly means to keep people safe. If you care about public safety, war, global security, or the hidden forces that shape our future, this book will change the way you look at the ""disasters of the past."" They are not as distant as they seem.
