Chernobyl: The History of a Nuclear Catastrophe by Serhii Plokhy

3.0

I found it hard to put down Chernobyl: History of Nuclear Catastrophe. I enjoyed the book's take on the role of state and party leadership, the decision-making capabilities and consequences of individuals and councils, as well as how the disaster factored into the budding Unkrainian independence movement. The intrepid spirit of the first responders and how the Soviets addressed this crisis overall was really interesting.
