Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
On 27 August 1883 the most terrifying volcanic eruption occurred on the Island of Krakatoa, five miles of the western tip of Java. The island was destroyed and almost 40 000 people were killed. The explosions had a dramatic effect that was felt and heard for thousands of miles. And there would be further, and even more far-reaching effects: the destruction wrought by this volcano would become the catalyst to a dramatic and bloody uprising of the region's Muslim community against their Western colonial master. With index.
