1909 EARTHQUAKE 1st ed Italy Sicily 1908 MESSINA REGGIO Natural Disaster US Navy
“The Complete Story of the Italian Earthquake Horror.” by James Martin Miller chronicles the infamously devastating “1908 Messina and Reggio Earthquake” in Calabria, Italy and Sicily, a tragedy that marked the peak of the early 20th centurys series of catastrophic natural disasters. The book juxtaposes the vibrant, picturesque scenery of pre-earthquake Sicily with the unprecedented destruction and loss of life that followed the calamity. Miller captures personal accounts of survivors, documenting heroism amid tragedy, and showcases the globally united front of aid, led significantly by the U.S. Navy. Enhanced with 50 photographic reproductions, the book offers a poignant recounting of the disaster and the immense global response it invoked.
