Reviews

Prepare to Cry. It really is as simple as that. McDonough's tragic tale is told in a style that has you hanging on to every word, even if you know the ultimate story from following the news 5 yrs ago or from seeing Only the Brave, the movie based on this book, last year. Simply amazing, and heartbreaking. The *only* quibble I have is Page 270, where McDonough calls for a wildfire firefighter union. Other than that, this book is simply a phenomenal combination of McDonough's own memories combined with clear research into the science and sequence of events of the tragedies - particularly Yarnell.
