Wind to Shake the World The Story of the 1938 Hurricane

A recent college graduat, Everett S. Allen joined the staff of the New Bedford Standard-Times in September 1938. He was assigned to the waterfront. The following day the storm of the century blew in. This is his account. The hurricane took the Northeast by surprise and by the throat. It began by gashing Long Island, then cut a swath through central New England. Hundreds died, thousands of homes were destroyed or damaged, and salt spray hit windows as far north as Montpelier. Now in paperback for the first time, one of the great storm narratives of all time returns to print.Allen, Everett S. is the author of 'Wind to Shake the World The Story of the 1938 Hurricane', published 2006 under ISBN 9781933212258 and ISBN 193321225X.
