Description

The stories from the Victorian Bushfires‚ Australia′s greatest ever disaster‚ have touched many New Zealanders as well as our neighbours in Australia. Black Saturday is a book everyone touched by the tragedy, and moved to help the victims, will want to own.

Told as a collection of individual stories from the Victorian Bushfires‚ featuring deeply personal contributions from: people directly affected‚ their friends and relatives; the people who came to their aid − fire fighters‚ doctors‚ nurses and wildlife rescuers; accounts from journalists on the scene; and those involved in coordinating the response. 

Arranged town−by−town‚ with introductions detailing the scope and impact of the fires on each community; the book will feature the best photographs from News Ltd′s photographers‚ printed on stock‚ throughout each chapter. A roll of honour‚ listing those who perished in the fires‚ is included.

It tells of human emotion in the face of fire; the grief of loss and the triumph of the human spirit. A book to honour those who have lost their lives‚ and a show of solidarity to those who must pick up the pieces‚ and carry on in the aftermath of this disaster. This is a 100% charity project and $26.66 from each book ($30 minus GST) will be passed to the Victorian Bush Fire Appeal.
