It was the storm of the century boasting waves over one hundred feet high―a tempest created by so rare a combination of factors that meteorologists deemed it the perfect storm. In a book that has become a classic Sebastian Junger explores the history of the fishing industry the science of storms and the candid accounts of the people whose lives the storm touched. The Perfect Storm is a real-life thriller that makes us feel like we ve been caught helpless in the grip of a force of nature beyond our understanding or control. Winner of the American Library Association s 1998 Alex Award.
