"The flames have long since faded, but the search for the truth rages on. In this controversial account, Peter Clack seeks to offer answers to establish that the firestorm was no accident or climatic phenomenon. This story is told by the police and fire-fighters and by the victims themselves." -- BOOK JACKET.
