If the storm that struck the Grand Banks off Newfoundland in October 1991 was the Perfect Storm, the fire that destroyed London in September 1666 was the Per fect Fire. A fire needs only three things: a spark to ignite it, and fuel and ox ygen to feed it. In 1666, a ten-month drought had turned London into a tinderbox . The older parts of the city were almost entirely composed of wood-frame buildi ngs and shanties little more than paper shacks. The riverside wharves and wareho uses were stacked with wood, coal and every combustible material known to sevent eenth-century man. The fuel was already in place. A fierce easterly gale springi ng up at the start of September provided the oxygen. All that was now needed was a spark. On 2 September, 1666, London ignited. Over the next four days the gale blew without interruption and the resulting firestorm destroyed the whole city. The Dreadful Judgement is a historical detective story, combining modern knowle dge of the physics of fire, forensics, and fire and arson investigation, with mo ving eye-witness accounts contained in contemporary documents, private papers an d personal letters, to produce a searing depiction of the Great Fire of London a nd the human stories of those who lived through it and those who did not.
