    Summary:

    In November 1970, a storm set a collision course with the most densely populated coastline on Earth. Over the course of just a few hours, the Great Bhola Cyclone would kill 500,000 people and begin a chain reaction of turmoil, genocide, and war. Scott Carney and Jason Miklian tell the dramatic story of how that storm sparked a country to revolution.
