THE YEAR WITHOUT SUMMER: 1816 and the Volcano that Darkened the World & Changed History.
By William K. Klingaman & Nicholas P. Klingaman
Basically, it tells the story of how on April 5 1815, the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. Was shook by a massive explosion as Mt Tamborra erupted. And how it effected the world and history.
It is a really good read. If not slightly depressive, when you consider the effect it had on the world.
