SRP 2013 REVIEW: I liked it because it gave alot of information about where the explosion took place before the explosion happened. It was very detailed.

SRP 2013 REVIEW: It really more of a well-written textbook. Containing interviews from descendants of the survivors as well as photographs of the aftermath and other significant scenes. The book does however, provide an example of how even in the darkest of times, there will be kind people to help out.
