Rachel Slade's Into the Raging Sea made me miss my subway stop and cancel at least one appointment. It's a gripping, moving account of a nautical tragedy, told with equal parts verve, gusto, and compassion. Don't miss it., For sheer drama on the water, it's hard to beat the tragedy recounted in Rachel Slade's Into the Raging Sea. . . . a fast-moving cinematic adventure. But for all of the drama, the worst scares are in the epilogue. This sinking was no simple accident., Rachel Slade mashes up The Perfect Storm with a suspenseful, page-turning thriller, cutting through the corporate double-speak to shine a light on how it was that thirty-three men and women sailed into Hurricane Joaquin. Superbly written, this deserves a place on the bookshelf of modern maritime classics., With gripping prose and edge-of-the-seat momentum, Rachel Slade takes the reader aboard the final, fatal voyage of El Faro. Into the Raging Sea imparts a profound message about the power of nature and the fallibility of human judgement even in our digitized era., Well-crafted and gripping . . . Slade frames the tragedy with a meticulous review of all the ways in which it could have been avoided . . . a painful and poignant narrative., A Perfect Storm for a new generation, Into the Raging Sea is a masterful page-turning account of the El Faro's sinking, one that leaves you profoundly moved by the crew's dedication and grit, and infuriated at the disturbing conditions that led to this tragedy., Bracing ... a story as old as seafaring itself. This minute-by-minute account illustrates in chilling detail exactly what happens when the near-infinite might of the ocean plows broadside into the hubris of men., A powerful and affecting story, beautifully handled by Slade, a journalist who clearly knows ships and the sea., Harrowing, moving...a taut adventure tale...The depth of research and reporting, and Slade's skill at pacing and selecting the telling details produce a richly detailed narrative, tense and sad and true., More than the story of how a ship was overcome by a storm, Into The Raging Sea is an allegory for what it means to be a part of the nation's largely invisible working and middle class., An exhaustive account of what happens when tragedy claims a vicious price for our progress and greed. Slade's book is a chance to name . . . and call to the fore the forces that robbed these mariners of their lives.

No one could fathom how a vessel equipped with satellite communications, a sophisticated navigation system, and cutting-edge weather forecasting could suddenly vanish--until now. Relying on hundreds of exclusive interviews with family members and maritime experts, as well as the words of the crew members themselves--whose conversations were captured by the ship's data recorder--journalist Rachel Slade unravels the mystery of the sinking of El Faro. As she recounts the final twenty-four hours onboard, Slade vividly depicts the officers' anguish and fear as they struggled to carry out Captain Michael Davidson's increasingly bizarre commands, which, they knew, would steer them straight into the eye of the storm. Taking a hard look at America's aging merchant marine fleet, Slade also reveals the truth about modern shipping--a cut-throat industry plagued by razor-thin profits and ever more violent hurricanes fueled by global warming.

Cd in great shape, there was a lot of Library stickers on the artwork. The picture on eBay shows that but it didn’t sink in until I saw the cd. It was graded acceptable so I knew something was wrong. I’m still happy the cd though, the price was good and the seller did point those stickers out, I would this seller again. Thank you
