Summary: Will become a valuable resource for future scholars
Comment: It is hard to believe but it has been some 25 years since America's worst nuclear accident took place. In "Three Mile Island" author J. Samuel Walker takes a look back at the tragic events that upset us all so much back in March of 1979. Eminently qualified to undertake this project, Walker succeeds in presenting all sides of this extremely complicated and highly controversial subject matter. Was equipment failure the chief culprit here or was human error more to blame? Aside from attempting to explain exactly what happened on that fateful day, Walker spends a considerable amount of time evaulating why the various players in this saga reacted they way they did. This book is meticulously researched and fairly well written but I must admit that at times I got lost with all of the scientific jargon that was necessarily included. In the long run I feel that this book will prove to be a terrific research volume. If you are like me and not well versed in the sciences it can be a somewhat difficult read.
