By Permission Of Heaven by Adrian Tinniswood
This account of the Great Fire of London explores the history of a cataclysm and its consequences, from the first small blaze to the long work of rebuilding. It also describes the human story of the Fire and its aftermath - the panic and terror, the hunt for scapegoats and the rebirth of a city.
