The World’s Worst Historical Disasters examines 70 of the most significant natural and man-made disasters in world history, from ancient ones such as the 429BC plague in Athens or the 856AD Corinth earthquake, to modern day catastrophes such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami, Chernobyl and the September 11th attacks. All kinds of disasters are covered including plagues, earthquakes, volcanoes, genocides, floods, train and aeroplane crashes.

With an immense range across time and place, each story is highly illustrated with black and white and colour historical artworks and photographs. In addition key fact boxes outline the most important information, enabling the reader to understand the major elements at a glance.
