    About

    “The Vortex” unfolds the gripping narrative of one of the deadliest storms in modern history, the Great Bhola Cyclone of November 1970, which tore through Pakistan, altering the course of the nation and bringing it to the precipice of nuclear conflict. With its devastating impact, the cyclone claimed half a million lives, setting off a chain reaction of chaos, genocide, and political upheaval. Authors Scott Carney and Jason Miklian delve into the heart of this tumultuous period, presenting a dramatic account of how the storm became a catalyst for revolution in a nation already on the brink of a historic election.
