Sometimes there are pages devoted to a few seconds of time, but it works very well for the story of Chernobyl because significant events happened in the blink of an eye, and thousands of lives were changed (and in many cases and many ways, over) because of the events. Not an easy read, but so helpful in contextualizing what happened and how we can each watch for similar warning signs in the (hopefully less potentially catastrophic) choices we come across in our own lives.
