Guilford, Connecticut: Lyons Press - Imprint of The Globe Pequot Press, 2006. First Printng . Hard Back. Fine/Fine. 6 1/4" x 9 1/4. 260 Pages Indexed. Tnis new Book has a Demco Polyfit vinyl protection in place since purchase. So Others May Live is the untold story of the U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer. In startlingly clear and exceptional writing, it tells twelve heroic stories of the greatest maritime rescues attempted since the program was started in 1985. These feats, told through the eyes of the hero, reveal an understanding of how and why the rescuer, with flight crew assistance, risks his or her own life to reach out to save a stranger.
