Norman Maclean along with several experts (and survivors) re-examines the Mann Gulch tragedy, where 13 young men died suddenly and unexpectedly. With experience and modern methods, he comes to some new conclusions about what went wrong. Finding himself drawn ever closer to the men who lived and died, he finishes with a philosophical and theological summary of the day's events with some of his most beautiful writing.
