Critics Review
“Written with authority, this superb book reads like a classic disaster story and reveals a Soviet empire on the brink… . [A] vivid and exhaustive account.”– Kirkus , Starred Review
” Superb, enthralling and necessarily terrifying … the accident unfurls with a horrible inevitability. Weaving together the experiences of those who were there that night, Higginbotham marshals the details so meticulously that every step feels spring-loaded with tension… . Amid so much rich reporting and scrupulous analysis, some major themes emerge… . Higginbotham’s extraordinary book is another advance in the long struggle to fill in some of the gaps, bringing much of what was hidden into the light.” -Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
