Tragedy That Binds 2 Countries

After visiting Halifax several times over the past years I was eager to read a thorough historical account of this disaster. It is a fascinating read of the timing of vessels during this time period and the importance of the Halifax harbor. The resilience and degree of brotherhood and humanity is heart warming. I encourage everyone to read this - emphasizes the servant’s heart and brotherhood of 2 countries and their people to recover from such a devastating catastrophe!

A tragic but also very hopeful book

Excellent research. Riveting Writing/Performance Opens with the foibles and blindness to possible tragedy that all humanity suffers from. Describes in detail how real people dealt with the biggest human made explosion in history up to that point in time. Describes how when everything is gone humans are basically good, caring and wanting to help others. Left me feeling that we still have hope to return to less hateful, polarized times. I'm just praying it doesn't take a terrible tragic event to get us there

Fascinating Day in Historu

Man’s humanity to his fellow man in the aftermath of a disaster. Resilience and fortitude in the face of a horrific tragedy.

A Good, Humane, Account of an Inhumane Tragedy

I found the text to be an excellent grounding to contextualize the events leading up to the explosion, as well as being generous to the majority of those he reported upon.

The biggest question I’d always had about the explosion had been to wonder how Mont Blanc got saddled with sole blame at the two initial legal cases. This book offers an explanation that feels very compelling to me.

The narrator does a great job with the text. I recommend this work to all readers.
