Isaac's Storm
Trade paperback edition in very good condition. Slight wear to cover. Fine reading copy.
“This is the story of Isaac and his time in America, the last turning of the centuries, when the hubris of men led them to believe they could disregard even nature itself.”
Using Isaac Cline’s own telegrams, letters, and reports, the testimony of scores of survivors, and our latest understanding of the science of hurricanes, Erik Larson builds a chronicle of one man’s heroic struggle and fatal miscalculation in the face of a storm of unimaginable magnitude. It is the story of what can happen when human arrogance meets the great uncontrollable force of nature.
