So Others May Live is the untold story of the U.S. Coast Guard's
quiet but resolute rescue swimmers. From deep ocean caves on the
Oregon coast to the panicked and chaotic streets of post-Katrina
New Orleans, here are their stunningly heroic stories.
These stories are some of the greatest maritime rescues attempted
since the program began in 1985. These feats, told through the eyes
of the heroes, reveal an understanding of how and why the rescuer,
with flight crew assistance, risks his or her own life to reach out
to save a stranger. The book covers diverse environments: oceans,
hurricanes, oil rigs, caves, sinking vessels, floods, and even
Niagara Falls. It is truly a can't-put-it-down collection.
