In the tradition of Walter Lord s A Night to Remember, a dramatic moment-by-moment account of the greatest peacetime sea rescue in history

Advance Praise for Desperate Hours

"A stupendous feat of reportage. Goldstein has virtually put us into lifeboats and sent us hurtling into the North Atlantic on the night of July 25, 1956." Ron Powers, cowriter, Flags of Our Fathers, and author of Dangerous Water and Tom and Huck Don t Live Here Anymore

"Riveting. A vivid reconstruction of the chain of small events leading to a disaster and its impact on a rich cast of characters from a vanished era." Neil Hanson, author of The Custom of the Sea
