HarperPerennial, NY, 2004, 1st Pbk Ed 2nd Pr. Paperback. The author examines the legendary annihilation in 1883 of the volcano-island of Krakatoa, which was followed by an immense tsunami that killed nearly forty thousand people. The effects of the immense waves were felt as far away as France. Barometers in Bogota and Washington, DC, went haywire. Bodies were washed up in Zanzibar. The sound of the island's destruction was heard in Australia and India and on islands thousands of miles away. Most significant of all, in view of today's new political climate, the eruption helped to trigger in Java a wave of murderous anti-Western militancy among fundamentalist Muslims, one of the first outbreaks of Islamic-inspired killings anywhere. Krakatoa gives us an entirely new perspective on this fascinating and iconic event. 416 Pgs. Description text copyright 2007 ISBN: 006093736X. Good. Water mark on last 150+/- pages. Content not affected. No DJ. 8vo..
