Charles Heath’s Reviews > Sea of Storms: A History of Hurricanes in the Greater Caribbean from Columbus to Katrina > Status Update

A well-written and thought provoking social history of hurricanes in the circus-Caribbean. Schwartz is one of the deans of Latin American history and has a way for weaving the primary accounts of history's participants with the broader scope of events. If you want to learn the history of man's interaction with, and the state's reaction to hurricanes, this is the work.
