Blizzard of Glass: The Halifax Explosion of 1917
On a cold morning in December 1917, a ship filled with munitions collided with another vessel in Halifax Harbor. The resulting explosion flattened everything within a half-mile radius and resulted in more than 2,000 deaths. Walker follows several young people who lived through the disaster and chronicles the rescue efforts in a story that is both affecting and unbelieveable.
