John Withington surveys the great disasters of history: eruptions, wars, epidemics, hurricanes and fires. From the Sumatra volcano that nearly wiped out the species to genocides, he shows that catastrophes also arise from ambition and greed, and closes with the idea that humanity always manages to recover.

For readers of history and essays interested in catastrophes, surprising facts and the human capacity for resilience.
