Mann Gulch, Montana, 1949. Sixteen men ventured into hell to fight a raging wildfire; only three came out alive. Searing the fire into the nations consciousness, Norman Maclean chronicled the Mann Gulch tragedy in his awardwinning book Young Men and Fire. Still, the silence of the victims families robbed Macleans account of an essential personal dimension. Shifting the focus from the fire to the men who fought it, Mark Matthews now provides that perspective.Not until 1999the fiftieth anniversary of the firedid people begin to talk openly about Mann Gulch. Matthews has garnered those thoughts to reveal how devastating the fire was to the firefighters family members, coworkers, and friends. In retelling the story of Mann Gulch, he draws on the testimony of the three survivorsincluding neverbeforepublished insights from the last living member of the teamand interviews with former smoke jumpers of that era. The result is a momentbymoment, heartstopping recreation of events.The Mann Gulch tragedy provoked the Forest Service to develop safety equipment and training programs, but fighting wildfires is still a perilous job.Matthews stirring account renews our respect for one of natures primal forces. A heartbreakingly human story, it still haunts a firefighting communityand keeps todays firefighters forever on guard.
