The Longest Minute: The Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906 by Matthew J. Davenport
4.0
This was a fantastically well-researched book! I enjoyed the book, and the before and after look at San Francisco in the wake of the great earthquake and fire.
For those who enjoy history, this one is a great book. Davenport takes you through the events of the morning leading up to the earthquake, and we see some of this through the eyes of a police officer, who is walking his beat. There is also the history of what makes up the ground upon which many of the homes were built, and the composition of which, would not be a good long-term solution.
