I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in United States history or disasters. This book was an detailed account of the events at the Cocoanut Grove venue. I grew up in a family of firefighters, and have been on the scene of many fires and training sessions, and to read how fast this fire moved through this building was simply unfathomable to me. I cannot imagine the terror that these people experienced, and the suffering that some endured. There was one man in particular whose story was truly horrifying to me. The things that people were allowed to get away with and the results of those actions is shameful. This was certainly the best book I read for the month of January in my 2021 Reading Challenge.
