Prior accounts pale in comparison to this work."--Allan M. Winkler, author of "Life Under a Cloud: American Anxiety about the Atom" "This book covers a celebrated techno-political event with authority and dispassion, capturing a sense of the human frailty and heroism that proved both tragic and comic. Walker is that rare historian who exemplifies fairness and balance in a readable style. Three Mile Island details necessary background before establishing a strong narrative, weaving the participants in a drama that many of us shared but none fully understood--until now."--William Lanouette, author of "Genius in the Shadows: A Biography of Leo Szilard, the Man Behind the Bomb"
