The Halifax Explosion

Canada's Worst Disaster

Omschrijving

Finalist for the Atlantic Book Award for Non-Fiction On December 6, 1917, the French munitions ship Mont-Blanc and the Norwegian war-relief vessel Imo collided in the harbour at Halifax, Nova Scotia. That accident sparked a fire and an apocalyptic explosion that was the largest man-made blast prior to the 1945 dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Together with the killer tsunami that followed, the explosion devastated the entire city in the wink of an eye and instantly killed more than two thousand people.The Halifax Explosion is a fresh, revealing account of the disaster that finally answers questions that have lingered for a century.
