Hardback. Condizione: Good.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In the early hours of the morning of 26 April 1986, the nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl power plant in Ukraine exploded, unleashing a storm of radioactive material into the atmosphere and contaminating most of Europe with its fallout. It was a disaster on an unprecedented scale. In this comprehensive guide, Ian Fitzgerald explores the events as they unfolded: the science behind the explosion and what went wrong; the hubris and heroism shown on the ground as engineers, firefighters, doctors and government officials all worked to contain the fiasco; as well as the cover-ups and recriminations that followed. Photographs reveal the human side to the story and the ordinary men and woman who put their lives on the line to escape total catastrophe. Fitzgerald asks what lessons can be learned - and what, if anything, we are doing to make sure they can never happen again.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Who runs our lives? What secrets are governments hiding from us? Are we really being manipulated by a 'deep state'?Nothing is as it seems. When democratic governments are elected, do you ever wonder why they don't seem able to change very much? Whoever we vote for, vested interests seem to prevail. Over time special interest groups, unfettered by legal norms or public opinion, have formed 'states within a state' to advance their own private agendas. Unaccountable and immensely powerful, these 'deep states' have changed the course of history. In this fascinating book, Ian Fitzgerald lays bare the origins and operating methods of the clandestine state. Starting with the oligarchic elites and the Praetorian Guard in Ancient Greece and Rome, he takes the reader on an incredible journey around the world from drug traffickers in Colombia and Mexico and power-brokers in western democracies to the military-industrial complexes of Egypt, Pakistan, and North Korea to show how the system works.Revealing and informative, The Deep State provides an essential introduction to the sinister, secret powers that rule the world. …
