Many people in this age of man-made destruction are not familiar with the first, the largest, man-made explosion in the world before Hiroshima, in the somewhat isolated Maritimes of Canada. This is the story of how on Dec. 6, 1917, the town of Halifax was decimated.ย -Reviewed by Betty on Goodreads

Plenty of Black & White photographs included with this amazing story of the disaster that occured in Halifax, Nova Scotia,ย  which is the true story of the greatest man-made explosion before Hiroshima, when the ships collided in the harbour, exploding, and wiping the city off the map!
