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. ' When it struck in October 1991, there was virtually no warning. The Andrea Gail and its crew of six didn't have a chance and disappeared without a trace. In a narrative taut with the fury of the elements, Sebastian Junger takes us deep into the heart of the storm, depicting with vivid detail the courage, terror, and awe that surface in such a gale. This novel was the basis for the major motion picture starring George Clooney, Mark Walhberg, Diane Lane, Karen Allen, and Allen Payne. . 1st Edition. Hard Cover.
