"Comme à son habitude, Dominique Lapierre nous délivre là une grande enquête. Où on voit que la cupidité, la négligence, l'ignorance, l'ambition... peuvent faire des milliers de victimes. Mais on voit aussi, que lors de grands désastres, certains se comportent vraiment comme des sains."
"I wonder why this book was banned in india , may be coz it shows the clear negligence from government and local authority who can handle this deadly tragedy . or may be due the reference of sikh killing by congress militant. whatever the reason are this book is well researched by the authors and depicts the sad state of Indian politicians who are just into vote banks and nothing else.
Last few chapters are real heart breaking when the gas leaks out and the chaos that was created can bring tears to anybody eyes. I can't even imagine the agony which the people would have suffered, more then 5lakhs people are affected in this tragedy . It was like chemical weapon used there !
The escape of anderson and the vicitms still not getting there compensation , carbide provided $470million for that, Politicians must be enjoying on that money thats for sure !!!
Todays generation should read this book to get the clear picture of the sad state we are in it !"
