Review
"A trove of shark lore, a suspenseful adventure yarn, and a decent man's account of the way other decent men behave toward one another when they are under great pressure" (Geoffrey Wolff Newsweek)
"Analytical, truthful and intimately personal... Throughout one learns considerably about the history of sharks, whales, professional divers, and other such creatures of the sea... Matthiessen is a most qualified observer of men and nature" (Natural History)
"For its natural history, for its persistent courage and for its terrifying portrait of White Death, this book... will live in the memory of all who read it" (Atlantic)
"Peter Matthiessen is beyond dispute the best nature writer working today" (Peter Farb)
Book Description
