Book Description

In the early morning hours of April 18.1906, an earthquake registering 8.25 on the Richter scale struck San Francisco and a string of towns to its north-northwest and south-southeast. The quake, lasting little more than a minute, toppled 25,000 buildings, broke open gas mains, and cut off electric power lines throughout the Bay area. Then came the fires that raged for three days, cutting a deadly-200-mile-long swath across coastal California, leaving chaos and horror in its wake while effectively destroying the gold rush capital that had stood for a half century. It was perhaps the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States.

Internatinally bestselling author Simon Winchester vividly brings the cataclysm to life - offering a fascinating in-depth exploration of a legendary event that changed the way we look at the planet on which we live.

"An abosorbing narrative of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906... a timely study of America's risky taste for civic culture on the edge of the abyss."
