Midnight in Chernobyl

Adam Higginbotham

A gripping and carefully documented narrative, “Midnight in Chernobyl” describes – in minute and excruciating detail – the series of unfortunate events that led to the Chernobyl disaster, starting with the secretive Soviet nuclear program and ending with the belated evacuation of Pripyat. In the second part, the book captures the unimaginable consequences of the disaster, and chronicles the ensuing and definitive demise of the Soviet Union.
