A WIND TO SHAKE THE WORLD THE STORY OF THE 1938 HURRICANE By Everett S. Allen

"Allen has gathered first-hand accounts of survivors from South Jersey, Boston, Rhode Island and especially Long Island and Cape Cod where the blow hit hardest - top winds were clocked at 186 mph. His vivid description of the mellow September day that turned yellow and then sea-green with 40 foot waves is more heartfelt than all the disaster movies ever made." Kirkus Reviews
