10180. Thompson, Kalee. Deadliest Sea: The Untold Story Behind the Greatest Rescue in Coast Guard History. New York. 2010. 309p. DJ. Deadliest Sea by Kalee Thompson is the spellbinding true story of the greatest rescue in U.S. Coast Guard history. It’s no secret that commercial fishing on the Bering Sea is easily one of the world’s most dangerous and deadly professions. For the men of the vessel ‘Alaska Ranger’, this fact presented itself on March 23, 2008, when the ship began taking water only to be fully submerged just a few hours later. In “Deadliest Sea,” author Kalee Thompson offers readers the harrowing account of the Ranger’s accident, and the daring rescue attempt by U.S. Coast Guard helicopter rescue teams which succeeded in saving the lives of more than twenty of the crew members–thus becoming the single most successful cold-water rescue in Coast Guard history. A fascinating and gripping account for all. (M). Reduced $16.99.
