Acerca de esta escucha

On August 5, 1949, a crew of 15 of the United States Forest Service's elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of these men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for 40 years, Norman Maclean puts back together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy.

This is a book I will forever keep on my audible shelf! The prose and narrative was amazing! A great performance! It should be a mandatory read/listen for any student of natural resources and American Western history.

A masterpiece by Maclean

If you like the outdoors and understanding man's place in it, you will love this book. it's a story, meticulously researched and reconstructed by Norman Maclean. Thirteen young men, "smokejumpers," parachuted to the edge of what became a massive fire that devoured almost all of them. Maclean writes with controlled passion about this catastrophe, how it happened and lessons it offered future wildfire fighters. Maclean's humanity, his literary mastery and his ease with science and humanity in equal measure all make for a compelling story.

The best book I've experienced in years

I am at a loss of words for how the author achieved both an epic story-telling and a research of a neglected historical event.

Stories we need to hear

This book was not finished in Maclean's lifetime and you can tell. Although the research is superb, and certain sections magnificent, it meanders and desperately needed a good editor. It is still a fine book and worth the trouble, but bear this in mind.

Melancholic, interesting, meandering.

SAMS required read. Doctrine Man reccommended.

How Maclean is able to address scientific information, human emotion, and historical events all at the same time AND make it fascinating and inspiring is beyond my understanding! I loved how we are taught about these young smoke jumpers and an old man running out of time all at the same time. I highly recommend this book!

Wonderful!

Going to listen to the rest of Mclean's writing now. Superb writing and magnificent narration.

Moving and technically fascinating story.

The start of the book was great. After that it was the same thing over and over again. His research and speculation into what probably happened during the fire was good, but too much repetition.

Started off great

While i admire the Arthurs immense attention to detail and science, I struggled following page after page of measuring, hiking, and inspection of the site of the fire. I’m glad to know the tragedy, the dying of young fire fighters, but need to admit that at some point I stopped reading and skipped to the last chapter.

The in depth, technical analysis Arthur Maclean writes to explain a forest, grass fire.
