Description: The Cocoanut Grove Nightclub Fire by Stephanie Schorow On November 28, 1942, fire roared through Bostons famed Cocoanut Grove nightclub during what was supposed to be a high-spirited Saturday night. By midnight, more than five hundred people were dead, dying, or maimed for life. Local author Stephanie Schorow probes the clubs history, the circumstances leading to the fire, and the tragedys lingering impact. The inferno reached deep into the citys social structure--its politics, medical care, law enforcement, and religious life--and touched nearly everyone in the Boston area, even those who had never set foot in the club. In this newly updated and revised edition, Schorow has added new information, photographs, interviews and insights on the worst nightclub fire in American history.
