Synopsis
On Labor Day, 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, the fiercest hurricane in the history of the United States tore through the Florida Keys. In the heart of its fury lay a group of down-and-out World War I veterans who had been sent to the Keys on a federally sponsored work project. Living in hastily built shacks just yards from the Atlantic Ocean, the men were completely unprepared for the 200-mile-per-hour winds and massive waves that would assail them on the night of September 2, 1935. In "Storm of the Century, journalist Willie Drye creates a vivid account of the storm' s rampage. DryeStorm of the Century is a haunting tale of the devastating power of nature and politics. Praise for "Storm of the Century: " Engrossing....Vividly captures the hurricane' s monstrous energy." "--Kirkus Reviews " A stirring tale of nature' s power and an expose of government ineptitude....Compelling reading." "--BookPage

- c***h- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOrdering from Puffin Fever Collectables was a wonderful experience. The books shipped quickly and arrived generously packaged and in perfect condition. But beyond that, Puffin Fever Collectables offered outstanding service. I had inadvertently requested that the books be sent to an old address, but the seller worked with me to find a mutually beneficial solution to the situation, prompting a genuinely pleasant conversation in the process. Thank you so much, and best wishes for the future!
- o***h (147)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI am so impressed with this Seller! Response was fast and the item shipped quickly. It arrived with very neat and secure packaging - I could tell it was done with care and pride. The condition of the book itself was exactly as described and the price was great. Will definitely do business with this 5-Star Seller again.
- e***i (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe items were every bit as good as advertised, worth every penny, packed as well if not better than any items ever delivered to me, in an envelope marked with a fragile sticker, and delivered in record time. The seller’s care and attention to protecting the items against damage is unusual and very impressive! Many thanks!THE GOSPEL OF JOHN, Volumes 1 & 2-THE DAILY STUDY BIBLE-William Barclay-Ex 2 HC!
