"The Finest Hours: The True Story of the U.S. Coast Guard's Most
Daring Sea Rescue" by Casey Sherman.

I got mine this morning after my usual visit to the PO and started
reading it around noon - haven't been able to put it down. I heard
about it the other day on, of all things, WEEI Dennis and Callahan
Show. Ordered it because Sherman is a really good author and reporter.

Great read - highly recommended.
