'Nothing Can Stop Us' Book Launch
|
The Tristan da Cunha Assocation has published a book by Richard Grundy and Neil Robson entitled: Nothing Can Stop Us: Tristan da Cunha's 1961 volcanic eruption and how its people handled their future. While the book covers Tristan's from the emergence of the islands from the South Atlantic Ocean up to the present day, it focuses on the 1960s - covering the eruption of a new cone of the volcano in 1961, the evacuation of the whole population to England, their return in 1963, and ensuing reconstruction. This fascinating blow by blow history is the culmination of over ten years work by the authors, which included interviews with the key players involved in these major events, many of whom have now alas passed away. The book was received from the printers in November 2021, and initial copies have already been sent out. It is a handsome hardback book with dust jacket, 299 pages and 132 photographs, illustrations, and maps, mainly in full colour. Full details on our separate page. Price: £20 (£15 for Tristan Association members) Please purchase using the Association's Order Form. All proceeds will go to the association's charitable fund to support the Tristan da Cunha community. |
