The Perfect Storm, A True Story of Men Against the Sea

The Perfect Storm, A True Story of Men Against the Sea

by Sebastian Junger

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 2009
  • PAPER
  • 256 PAGES

A gripping, now-famous blow-by-blow account of a 1991 disaster at sea. Junger reconstructs the final hours of six men aboard a 72-foot swordfish boat in the North Atlantic, battling against a torrential storm. This talented journalist writes well of the sea and its many moods -- the perfect background for a greater appreciation of the life of a fisherman.  (OCE06, $15.95)
