The Great Halifax Explosion

In "The Great Halifax Explosion," bestselling author John U. Bacon narrates the harrowing tale of the Mont-Blanc, a munitions ship laden with explosives that famously detonated in Halifax on December 1, 1917, resulting in the largest manmade explosion before the atomic bomb. Award-winning narrator Johnny Heller brings depth to this tick-tock account of the disaster, detailing the catastrophic event, the emotional stories of the 11,000 casualties, and the remarkable acts of heroism that emerged amidst the rubble. As the world reacted to the unimaginable devastation, the explosion not only transformed medical practices but also had lasting effects on U.S.-Canadian relations and influenced the development of atomic weaponry.
