By David Cowan and John Kuenster 1996, Soft cover, 291 pages, 8 pages of black and white photographs. On a grey winter day in December 1958, one of the deadliest fires in American history took the lives of ninety-two children and three nuns at a Catholic elementary school on Chicago's West Side. The blaze at Our Lady of the Angels School shocked the nation, tore apart a community, left a mystery unsolved to this day, sowed the popular suspicion of the church and city fathers, and prompted nationwide fire safety reform in American schools. 10339$14.95
