This review is from: The Rescue of the Gale Runner: Death, Heroism, and the U.S. Coast Guard (New Perspectives on Maritime History and Nautical Archaeology) (Hardcover)
This book is a great tale of a tragic and truly heroic event all wrapped into one. The XO Chopper Pilot is a good friend of mine from the USCG Academy. He recently signed this book for me at our 35th reunion. It is no surprise to me that he took on and defeated the weather on that night. Paul recently wrote that after graduation he "fell in love with" the mission of the Coast Guard, especially S&R (Search and Rescue). He and the other men and women of the USCG bravely perform heroic deeds on a regular basis. The author has done a good job of accounting the details surrounding the event as well as the attitudes of the people involved. This book is a great read for persons interested in learning more about the S & R teams within the Guard as well as the human side of the American Heroes that serve and protect us every day.
