In 1949, 15 Forest Service airborne firefighters jumped
to a remote forest fire in Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all
but two of these men were dead because of an explosive firestorm, rarely encountered
and poorly understood. These deaths prompted a widespread re-examination of
federal fire policy and the field of fire science. Nearly 50 years later and
still haunted by these deaths, Norman Maclean returns to the scene with the two
survivors. His wonderful writing and vivid descriptions make for a sobering
reading experience.
