Critics Review
“This remarkable account will remind you of the power of the human spirit, even, or especially, in a crisis.”
”[Alastair Gee and Dani Anguiano’s] account, based on interviews with residents, firefighters and academics, is horrendous, especially the section ‘Hell’, describing the fire minute by searing minute. It confirms how humans, not nature, are responsible for disasters…” – Andrew Robinson: Five of the Week’s Best Science Picks - Nature
