On 8th May 1902, Mont Pelee, the island volcano that had remained dormant for so long, had suddenly come alive. Within minutes the city had been destroyed along with its 30,000 inhabitants. This work presents the story of the destruction of a town in Martinique by an erupting volcano, a man who survived it, and a history of the island itself.
