| Summary |
"Four years after the guns had finally fallen silent, another alarming threat emerged from the sea. Communities in cities, towns, and resorts along the shore watched with growing fear how the Great War endured, at least with regard to its dark environmental aftermath. A thick layer of oil covered the shores of many different countries, disturbing everyday life and badly affecting tourism, fisheries, and other commercial activities"-- Provided by publisher |
