An excellent read. I enjoyed it all.

Things could have been so different, yet humankind never cease to amaze me by shooting themselves in the foot. McCullough does another informative intensive retrospect into this horrible disaster.

I wanted to read this book because natural disasters intrigue me. Great read.

Great accounting.

This is a very good read. When the flood water got to Johnstown, the authors description of what happened to the kid in the barn and the next 15 minutes of his life reminded me of the opening scenes of any James Bond movie. He was lucky to have survived due to quick thinking and reactions.
