Synopsis
"Presents a magnificent picture, not only of a great city utterly destroyed, but of an incredible time and the people in it, mad with terror, hysterical, vanishing by the tens of thousands under the lime, while a few of them profited in the nightmare, and fewer still left their names and courageous deeds on the proudest pages of human history"
