商品簡介
In this paperback edition of the original 1994 publication, Wise (US Navy, retired) tells the stories of 22 sole survivors of disasters at sea, from both war and peacetime though many accounts are from World War II. Many of the stories are brief but pull heavily from primary sources and interviews; what's not culled from sources is told in a clear voice though the brevity of the tales gives the narrative a choppy feeling. This title is intended for the general public but is researched thoroughly enough to also be a source for students and scholars of maritime history.
