Flames of Fear – A History of Tasmania's Bushfire Experiences | Roger McNeice | 2016 [HCDJ]

Roger McNeice's history of bushfire in Tasmania — from the mid-19th century through to recent times, covering the fires that shaped the island's rural and suburban communities and the men and women who fought them.

The centrepiece of the book is Black Tuesday — 7 February 1967, when fires across southern Tasmania killed 62 people, destroyed over 1,300 homes and burned through 264,000 hectares in a single day. It remains the most devastating bushfire disaster in Tasmanian history, and McNeice gives it the detailed treatment it deserves alongside accounts of other significant fires across the decades.

At 372 indexed pages with colour and black and white illustrations throughout, this is the most comprehensive account of Tasmanian bushfire history yet published.
