Publisher's Synopsis
In Sweden, the summer of 1999 was unusually hot and dry, which led to a massive fire in the Swedish National Park, Tyresta. Bjorn Larsson's photos from a ten-year exploration of the area show how the fire-ravaged area has slowly changed over time - from a desolate field of ashes to a newly-regenerated forest where life can once again thrive. Along with the photos, documents from the emergency services, police, military, the Home Guard and the press discuss the dramatic events in detail - from the efforts to calm the blaze to the arson investigation.
