Two Survived [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

An unforgettable true story of two sailors who survived seventy days at sea in an open boat after being sunk by a Nazi raider. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

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)
