Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster by Adam Higginbotham

4.0

Rating: 4.5

While I devour any kind of fiction often shamelessly, my continuous demand for high-quality non-fiction is ever present. Thankfully, I'm rarely disappointed and each year I manage to find at least one gem of a book that I truly enjoy and don't hesitate in recommending to everyone.

As the title suggests, the horrific Chernobyl disaster of 1986 is presented in a novelised form. The research behind the book is amazing and the author's spectacular reporting makes this a riveting read.

From giving a background of USSR's nuclear endeavours to highlighting the aftermath of the brutal incident, every page is brilliantly written. Highly recommended!
