Storm of the Century - New England's Great
Blizzard of 1978

Book Description
The most comprehensive account of the Great Blizzard of 1978 in New England, this book contains more than 130 dramatic photos from all across the region. Pictures range from the devastating flooding along the coast to the mountains of snow that paralyzed inland communities, including the 3,500 vehicles stranded on Route 128.

The record-setting storm's impact on the area is explored through first-hand accounts from survivors, relief workers and former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, among others.

Painstakingly researched and profusely illustrated, this book will stir memories of those who lived through the storm and will educate those too young to remember it.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Storm of the Century" will be donated to the Fort Revere Park & Preservation Society, a non-profit organization that supports the Fort Revere historic site and military history museum overlooking Boston Harbor in Hull, Mass.
