Just after 5 AM on 4/18/1906, an earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale ripped thru San Francisco, toppling buildings, exploding gas mains & trapping thousands beneath tons of stone, broken wood & twisted metal. Herds of cattle stampeded thru the streets. The air reverberated with the panicked screams of the doomed & dying. Then came the fires: hellish, gasfueled conflagrations so hot that molten glass ran down gutters. A mother crushed the skull of her trapped son with a rock so he wouldn't burn alive. A couple defiantly went ahead with their wedding even as the flames closed in. Rats from boats that smuggled prostitute slaves into Chinatown began to spread bubonic plague thru the city. With water mains destroyed, firemen could only stand & watch for three terrifying days as the fires consumed the remains left by the earthquake. Adding to the terror were soldiers, some drunk, who shot, bayoneted or hanged in the street over 500 suspected looters & other often innocent victims. As many as 10,000 died in the catastrophe. Drawing on meticulously researched & eyewitness accounts, Kurzman recreates one of the most horrific events of the 20th century. It's a magnificently composed pastiche of personal tragedies. It captures the fear & madness that raged thru a hell unequaled in American peacetime history. Yet, amid the rubble & death, the author also uncovers courage & honorable acts. More riveting than fiction, but true, Disaster! is a masterful account of the calamitous demise & astonishing resurrection of an American city & the triumph of a rough&tumble populace that refused to succumb to merciless nature.
