About this title

Review:

‘Philbrick’s account brings the Plymouth Colony and its leaders, including William Bradford, Benjamin Church and the bellicose, dwarfish Miles Standish, vividly to life. More importantly, he brings into focus a gruesome period in early American history. For Philbrick, this is yet another award-worthy story of survival.’ Publishers’ Weekly

Praise for ‘In the Heart of the Sea’:

‘Utterly gripping.’ Daily Telegraph

‘Brilliant.’ The Times

‘Superbly readable...elegantly written...a compelling study of the infinite human meanings of the sea itself.’ Guardian
