Praise
Narrated with gusto . . . [Puleo’s] enthusiasm for a little-known catastrophe is infectious. —The New Yorker
“Compelling . . . Puleo has done justice to a gripping historical story.”—Ralph Ranalli, Boston Globe
“Thoroughly researched . . . weaves together the stories of the people and families affected by the disaster, with often heartbreaking glimpses of their fates . . . The cleanup lasted months, the lawsuits years, the fearful memories a lifetime.” —Randolph E. Schmid, Associated Press
“Giving a human face to tragedy is part of the brilliance of Stephen Puleo’s Dark Tide . . . Until they were given voice in this book, the characters who drove the story were forgotten.” —Caroline Leavitt, Boston Sunday Globe
