About this product

Product Information

Long before the tsunami struck, the villagers of Nam Khem had learned you need large amounts of luck and determination to get by. For instance, Wichien was shot for lobster fishing in Burmese waters, leaving his wife Nang to spend long days collecting coconuts to pay his hospital bills and Dang and her neighbours were fighting the government and a mining company for possession of their homes. Wave of Destruction is the story of four families from one village in Thailand who were all in the path of the world's deadliest tsunami. By detailing their moment-by-moment fight for survival, Erich Krauss paints an intimate picture of a tragedy that many found incomprehensible - allowing the reader to experience the worst natural disaster the world has ever known through the eyes of those who will never be able to forget.
