About this product

Product Information

From dawn, the bush was tinder dry, and hot winds grew and fed off the baked landscape, sucking out every last drop of moisture, whipping sparks from power lines, and stirring up menace and danger. Worst of Days is the behind-the-scenes story of the people who were inside Black Saturday's most deadly firestorm, the Kilmore blaze. It is a powerful and gripping narrative of disaster and resilience, of men and women and children facing the ultimate stress. This is the story of what we do at the very worst of times: from the man who braved the flames to help a mate, to another who refused even to cover the face of a dead man, saying, 'No mate, not my job.' It is the story of officials' bungles and best efforts, towns and their heroes, of survivors, saviours and lost souls.

  • Worst of Days

    This is a compelling and thoroughly researched story of the Black Saturday fires in Victoria in 2009. It takes us behind the scenes of the families who were caught in the fires, and the background of all the efforts of authorities from the first alert to the aftermath. Couldn't put it down and Karen Kissane has written this book in such a way you are there with her on the ground, the stench of smoke and air of disaster filling your senses as you read. I've bought this book for quite a few family and friends now.
