On August 5, 1949, a crew of 15 of the United States Forest Service's elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of these men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for 40 years, Norman Maclean puts back together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy.

This is a book I will forever keep on my audible shelf! The prose and narrative was amazing! A great performance! It should be a mandatory read/listen for any student of natural resources and American Western history.

A masterpiece by Maclean

I am at a loss of words for how the author achieved both an epic story-telling and a research of a neglected historical event.

If you like the outdoors and understanding man's place in it, you will love this book. it's a story, meticulously researched and reconstructed by Norman Maclean. Thirteen young men, "smokejumpers," parachuted to the edge of what became a massive fire that devoured almost all of them. Maclean writes with controlled passion about this catastrophe, how it happened and lessons it offered future wildfire fighters. Maclean's humanity, his literary mastery and his ease with science and humanity in equal measure all make for a compelling story.

The best book I've experienced in years

wildly vivid and descriptive journey through a historic tragedy for the Smoke Jumpers given a delightful breathe of fresh life through incredible narration. complex sentence and themes are read perfectly.

Poetic, Somber, and fantastically narrated

How Maclean is able to address scientific information, human emotion, and historical events all at the same time AND make it fascinating and inspiring is beyond my understanding! I loved how we are taught about these young smoke jumpers and an old man running out of time all at the same time. I highly recommend this book!

Wonderful!

Going to listen to the rest of Mclean's writing now. Superb writing and magnificent narration.

Moving and technically fascinating story.

I’ve been coming across references, excerpts, and other mentions of this book for years in subjects regarding outdoor work to public health leadership. I was very interested in this book and enjoyed 90% of it, enough to count it worth it to listen to and read. I will say that the last 10% can be difficult to connect with at least for me, because it may not be as polished as the rest or has a meandering point. The performance of this book is engaging and keeps you interested.

A great but unfinished work

If you are going to narrate a book you need to find out how to pronounce the local names and sights. I know that in the south they pronounce Missouri the way it was in this book. However those of us that live in Montana and the northwest pronounce Missouri with an “ee” sound at the end. It was incredibly distracting to listen to the mispronunciation of my beloved river. Also Hilger landing is pronounced with a “J” sound. Well done on not botching Helena. Did appreciate that! It’s the little things that bring excellence .

Great story. Narrator could have been better.
