As smoke seeped into their homes, all were told to ‘stay put’. Many did – and they died. It was a disaster decades in the making. Peter Apps exposes how a steady stream of deregulation, corporate greed and institutional indifference caused this tragedy. It is the story of a grieving community forsaken by our government, a community still waiting for change."-- Provided by publisher.
