Summary: "Worst of Days takes readers inside the ferocious, insatiable beast that was the Black Saturday inferno. It takes us to the people who found themselves in its path, fighting and fleeing the flames... This is a gripping behind-the-scenes tale of officials and their bungles, towns and their heroes, of survivors, saviours and lost souls. It is the story of the creature that pursued them all: fire."--Publisher description.
