" MIDNIGHT IN CHERNOBYL is the best non-fiction audio book I've listened to in a long time. Author Adam Higginbotham has done an incredible job of researching the 1986 nuclear accident: its origin in questionable design, the building of the reactors, the cultural gigantism that assumed if one huge suboptimal reactor could work, why not four of them? All this took place within a the Soviet culture that mixed military, political and engineering concerns in an atmosphere of not asking questions. When the disaster hit, the Communist propaganda machine struck, consistently underestimating the extent of the tragedy and delaying necessary responses. "
