From the flap: That event triggered a tsunami that killed nearly 40,000 people. The effects of the enormous waves were felt in faroff France. Barometers in Bogata and Washington DC went haywire. Bodies were washed up in Zanzibar. Dust swirled around the earth for years, causing tempertures to plummet. And the eruption helped trigger in Java a wave of murderous anti-Western militancy among fundamentalist Muslims. Category: History; Signed by Author. ISBN: 0066212855. Inventory No: 0510679.
