About this title

Synopsis

The final warning consists of a last chapter of familiar exhortations against nuclear weapons & a brief discussion on the dangers of nuclear power plants. Nothing new. The heart of the book deals with Dr Gale's experiences on his trip to the Soviet Union, in the aftermath of Chernobyl, to aid in bone marrow transplantation. Here are his personal accounts (aided by Hauser) of wheedling an invitation thru the efforts of Armand Hammer, & his preparations, his friendly reception in Moscow, his inspections of Chernobyl & Kiev, & his meeting with Gorbachev. Between interesting tidbits about accommodations, dining experiences & press conferences, he gives fascinating, but limited, insights into Soviet medicine, in which politics is an important symptom. Though Gale wanders often from Chernobyl, his memoirs are interesting.--Daniel LaRossaIn 1986, Dr. Gale was asked by the USSR government to coordinate medical relief efforts for victims of the Chernobyl disaster. He's written popular books on Chernobyl & US nuclear energy policy. He has written parts of screenplays for &/or appeared in several movies including Final Warning (with Jon Voight), Fat Man & Little Boy (with Paul Newman) & City of Joy (with Patrick Swazye). He received an Emmy award for his work on a 60 Minutes special report about Chernobyl.
