A Moving Narration of the Great Halifax Explosion

An excellent book. The simple yet powerful description, together with the well-illustrated pictures, contrasted well the tensions experienced by those who knew of imminent death from the unsuspecting city who carried on life as though they had many more days ahead of them. My admiration and respect went to Captain Aime Le Medec, Vincent Coleman and John Gammon who proved to be men of integrity by the choices they made, knowing full well the high price that they might have to pay for their choices.
