Review
"I do not know of any sea annal that exhibits such desperate fortitude."-- New Yorker "An amazing odyssey of valor . . . gruesome, tragic, ignoble, heroic . . ." --New York Times Book Review "There's more excitement in this modern adventure . . . than most movies are able to dream up. It has everything." --Cleveland Press
From the Back Cover
On August 21, 1940, a Nazi raider torpedoed the British merchantman Anglo-Saxon and machine-gunned the survivors as they tried to escape in their lifeboats. One little boat escaped with seven men. Five of them perished, but Robert Tapscott and Wilbert Widdicombe endured for seventy full days and 2,300 miles to landfall on the other side of the Atlantic. This is the almost incredible account of their ordeal - one of the most thrilling stories of the sea that almost never came to light."It has seldom happened," writes William McFee in the introduction, "that a narrative so circumstantial, so entirely stripped of all humbug and false sentiment, has come out of the depths of the sea, to inspire us with admiration for human valor." Two Survived is an unforgettable true story of survival against the very longest odds. (5 1/2 x 8 1/4, 218 pages, b&w photos)
