For months in early 1980, scientists, journalists, sightseers, and nearby residents
listened anxiously to rumblings in Mount St. Helens, part of the chain of western
volcanoes fueled by the 700-mile-long Cascadia fault. Still, no one was prepared when
an immense eruption took the top off of the mountain and laid waste to hundreds of
square miles of verdant forests in southwestern Washington State. The eruption was
one of the largest in human history, deposited ash in eleven U.S. states and five
Canadian provinces, and caused more than one billion dollars in damage. It killed
fifty-seven people, some as far as thirteen miles away from the volcano's summit.
Shedding new light on the cataclysm, author Steve Olson interweaves the history and
science behind this event with page-turning accounts of what happened to those who
lived and those who died
