Saturday, 7 February 2009. Truly the worst of days…
From dawn, the bush was tinder dry, and hot winds grew and fed off the baked landscape, sucking out every last drop of moisture, whipping sparks from power lines, and stirring up menace and danger.
WORST OF DAYS is the behind-the-scenes story of the people who were inside Black Saturday's most deadly firestorm, the Kilmore blaze. It is a powerful and gripping narrative of disaster and resilience, of men and women and children facing the ultimate stress.
This is the story of what we do at the very worst of times from the man who braved the flames to help a mate, to another who refused even to cover the face of a dead man, saying, 'No mate, not my job.' It is the story of officials' bungles and best efforts, towns and their heroes, of survivors, saviours and lost souls.
Worst of Days Inside the black Saturday firestorm edition by Karen Kissane Politics Social Sciences eBooks
Burnt into the Australian psyche is the unimaginable horror of the Black Saturday firestorm that claimed so many lives. This well written and researched book breaks open the events of the day/s through the eyes of survivors, fire fighters, victims families and responders. The stories are harrowing - which fuels the reader to want desperately to understand how this could possibly happen. The authors effectively walks the reader through all the factors that lead to the appalling and devastating loss of lives. While the author is to careful not to afford blame - the findings of the Royal Commission suggest that poor leadership was a contributing factors. Tempting thought it is to blame an individual, the circumstances are much more complex than that, and these circumstances are detailed well in this book. It's not an easy read - and nor should it be. It is the telling of a truly tragic story. A story we should both remember, learn from and never ever repeat.Product details
