Product Description
Before 26 December 2004, while many people knew what a tsunami was, few had any idea of the wholesale destruction that one could cause. All of that changed as a powerful earthquake deep in the Indian Ocean triggered the deadliest tsunami in history. Over an area of more than 2,000 miles, entire towns were flattened and at least 300,000 people swept to their deaths as the giant wave devastated everything in its path. This book, illustrated with powerful photography and containing dozens of graphic eyewitness accounts, chronicles in detail the terrifying events surrounding one of the worst natural disasters in modern history.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 2 reviews)

Very Graphic But a Good Book  
I found this book to be extremely good. It is very insightful and makes you acutely aware of the ground conditions of a Tsunami.

worth reading  
This book has some very interesting information on tsunamis. It has many pictures of the events of the 2004 tsunami, tells you how tsunamis occur and shows pictures of other tsunamis that have occured in history. It tells a few stories from survivors of the 2004 tsunami, talks about how each individual country was affected in detail and about the efforts that will be required to help get life back to normal . For the price it was value for money.
