Underground

When five members of the religious cult Aum Shinrikyo unleashed chemical warfare on the Tokyo subway system using sarin, a poison gas 26 times as deadly as cyanide, the unthinkable happened: A major urban transit system had become the target of a terrorist attack. The individuals involved are the voices of this book, and Underground serves as a powerful work of journalistic literature from one of the world’s most perceptive writers. Originally written in Japanese, it has since been translated into many languages.
