The history was good but the essay in the epilogue was making some leaps and I feel like would have better served in a different book or collection of essays.

Informative and captivating, but I do wish some more characterizing details had been provided for the significant people early on in the book because it was very difficult to remember who was who from just a slew of names and jobs. Having watched the Chernobyl miniseries before reading helped me put faces and personalities to these figures and keep who was doing what straight.

This one was much more heart wrenching than the previous entries in this series. Still good but less of a rollicking good time.
