"So That Others May Live"In December 1994, two gargantuan rogue waves struck the Salvador Allende, knocking down the 450-foot cargo ship in the mid-Atlantic. In the darkness and howling winds, in the midst of a horrific, impenetrable storm, the terrified survivors clung to their lives by the thinnest of threads -- out of contact and out of reach of any ship afloat. A thousand miles away, one of the world's most elite rescue teams scrambled into action...This is the gripping and unforgettable true adventure of an astonishing rescue at sea -- a tale of the unparalleled courage and skill of men who endured a record-breaking fifteen-hour, nonstop helicopter ride through bone-jarring turbulence to carry out a mission on the ragged edge of impossibility. It is the story of a unit of the New York Air National Guard, the 106th Rescue Wing, which includes the famed PJs, the Pararescuemen, whose training is so rigorous and standards so high that only a dedicated handful qualify to join; heroes without peer who were willing to brave a maelstrom of forty-foot waves and schools of killer sharks, to risk their own lives "so that others may live".About the AuthorMichael Hirsh, an Army combat correspondent during the Vietnam War, is an award-winning journalist who has produced documentaries and specials for PBS, CBS, ABC and HBO. The author of six other books, including None Braver U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen in the War on Terror, he lives in Punta Gorda, FL.
