About this product
Product Information
On May 8, 1902, on the Caribbean island of Martinique, the volcano Mount Pelee loosed the most terrifying and lethal eruption of the twentieth century. In minutes, it killed 27,000 people and leveled the city of Saint-Pierre. In La Catastrophe, Alwyn Scarth provides a gripping day-by-day and hour-by-hour account of this devastating eruption, based primarily on chilling eyewitness accounts.

This study of the horror that befell Saint-Pierre without warning,mercy or escape is well worth pondering."--Seattle Times, "Scarth draws on eyewitness accounts and archives to relate this natural disaster, detailing not only the natural events that led to the explosion but also the political implications."--Library Journal, "In this quirky but fascinating volume, volcano expert Alwyn Scarth unfolds the story with dramatic flair and exacting detail, reconstructing the days, hours and minutes leading up to the eruption and its horrific aftermath. This study of the horror that befell Saint-Pierre without warning, mercy or escape is well worth pondering."--Seattle Times, "In this quirky but fascinating volume, volcano expert Alwyn Scarth unfolds the story with dramatic flair and exacting detail, reconstructing the days, hours and minutes leading up to the eruption and its horrific aftermath. This study of the horror that befell Saint-Pierre without warning, mercy or escape is well worth pondering."-- Seattle Times, "By providing a wealth of archival photos from before and after the destruction, Scarth maintains the reader's interest without watering down his formidable knowledge of how volcanoes actually work."--Publishers Weekly
