I wish Dominique Lapierre wrote my history books because he has an amazing writing style that makes stories and characters come to life. This book revealed to me those historical events spaced out over years that ultimately led to the deadly gas leak which turned Bhopal into a gas chamber on Dec 3, 1984. Lapierre's writing summarizes the history very well but he also familiarizes us with the cast of this terrible human drama, the resilient heroes and those that through their greed and negligence contributed to this massacre of innocents. Those who predicted the disaster and cried themselves hoarse but in vain. The dialogue in the book is very effective in my opinion. The book itself is a fruit of patient research as Lappiere himself says - here is one dialogue that stands out for me. "The numerous safety systems with which this type of plant is equipped enable us to control any of the MIC's potentially dangerous reactions," the project leader assured him (him refers to Eduardo Munoz, the Argentine engineer who fought to limit the size and dangers of the plant during its design). "You have absolutely no need to worry. Your Bhopal plant will be as inoffensive as a chocolate factory." While many have heard about the 1984 'gas tragedy', what is outrageous and not that well known is the aftermath ! Since 1984 thousands have died and are afflicted with cancer, brain damage, birth defects that came from drinking contaminated water for decades. Carbide's papers show that they knew the chemicals left abandoned at the plant would get into the ground water but they never issued a warning, nor did anything about it. Today a whole new generation of maimed, debilitated children stand testimony to what this corporation has done to innocent people.(less)

Excellent book ! it made me question everything that I knew about Bhopal. It made me go back and dig deep into its history. and whats happening now. These characters may be fictional but deep down this is the true story of Bhopalis. Even after 23 years of injustice in Bhopal, people are still fighting for their basic rights with dignity. As I write, 9 people are on an indefinite hunger strike (now in its 21st day) demanding that the prime minister meet them and meet his promises of providing clean water, medical and economic rehabilitation and justice. These brave men and women are joined by hundreds of people all over the world fasting in solidarity with them. I applaud Indra Sinha's ability to tell this heart-rending story with such humour and spirit.(less)
