From Sebastian Junger's The Whale Hunger to Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny, this program is a unique collection of the finest writing on what drives men and women to the sea, and what they face when they get there.©1999 Clint Willis (P)1999 Listen & Live Audio, Inc.

Whales

Very interesting story on a way of life and protection of a whale species. This story alone and its balanced approach makes this book worth reading.

Not worth the time

Really found this boring. Write up makes it sound like there would be stories of "man" against the sea, but there was more of man against man. Don't bother with this one.

meh

Narrator was monotonous and dry. The stories are much older and written in that older dry style. I didn't particularly enjoy this book.
