Midnight in Chernobyl

This book offers a definitive account of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, moving beyond the myths and propaganda to reveal the human stories behind the catastrophe. Journalist Adam Higginbotham spent over a decade interviewing survivors and sifting through declassified documents to reconstruct the events of April 26, 1986. It's a harrowing look at how secrecy and misinformation compounded one of the 20th century's worst technological failures.
