A gripping narrative about the new reality of wildfire in North America.

In Firestorm, journalist Edward Struzik visits scorched earth from Alaska to Maine, and introduces the scientists, firefighters, and resource managers making the case for a radically different approach to managing wildfire in the 21st century. Wildfires can no longer be treated as unavoidable events because the risk and dangers are becoming too great and too costly.

Struzik weaves a heart-pumping narrative of science, economics, politics, and human determination and points to the ways that we, and the wilder inhabitants of the forests around our cities and towns, might yet flourish in an age of growing megafires.

Industry Reviews

"A crackling good read on why and how megafires are burning bigger, hotter, faster and wilder through North America’s forests. Science reporting so close to the ground that you can feel the heat."
