Bonnie’s Reviews > The Great Halifax Explosion: A World War I Story of Treachery, Tragedy, and Extraordinary Heroism > Status Update

This book tends to show a libertarian bias from time to time.

We've just arrived at the explosion. There are too many children! And just people in general. It's hard to keep up with everyone.

There's major info-overload at the beginning of the book and it's difficult to tell the important bits from the "fun facts."

Bacon is laying the groundwork with some history on the city but there's a lot and I don't know how much of it is relevant and not all of it is interesting. I did learn a surprising amount of information about the Titanic. I thought I had tapped that fount.
