Description
The Aberfan Government and Disaster is a detailed study of one of Wales' most devastating disasters. On 21 October 1966, a coal tip collapse killed 116 children and 28 adults in the village of Aberfan. This revised second edition explores how the disaster occurred and why nobody was held responsible. Meticulous research has uncovered the failures of those who should have protected the public interest, including the National Coal Board, civil servants, and government ministers. The authors examine what has been learned from Aberfan, such as our understanding of psychological trauma and corporate manslaughter laws. This revised edition provides a comprehensive analysis of the disaster and its aftermath, shedding light on the events that led to one of Wales' most tragic disasters.
