Yet award-winning historian Kate  Brown uncovers a much more disturbing story, one in which radioactive  isotopes caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the magnitude  of the disaster has been actively suppressed.   For years after, Soviet scientists, bureaucrats and civilians were documenting staggering increases in birth defects, child mortality, cancers and other life-altering diseases.\r\n\r\n Worried that this evidence would blow the lid on the effects of radiation release from Cold War weapons-testing, scientists and diplomats from international organizations, including the UN, tried to bury or discredit it. Brown also encounters many everyday heroes, often women, who fought to bring attention to the ballooning human and ecological catastrophe, and adapt to life in a post-nuclear landscape, where the dangerous effects of radiation persist today.   Based on a decade of archival and on-the-ground research, Manual for Survival  is a gripping historical detective story that brings to light the real consequences of Chernobyl - and the plot to cover them up.\r\n\r\n   'A troubling book, passionately written and deeply researched' Sunday Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
