Frozen in Time is a gripping true story of survival, bravery, and
honor in the vast Arctic wilderness during World War II, from the
author of New York Times bestseller Lost in Shangri-La.On November
5, 1942, a US cargo plane slammed into the Greenland Ice Cap. Four
days later, the B-17 assigned to the search-and-rescue mission
became lost in a blinding storm and also crashed. Miraculously, all
nine men on board survived, and the US military launched a daring
rescue operation. But after picking up one man, the Grumman Duck
amphibious plane flew into a severe storm and vanished.Frozen in
Time tells the story of these crashes and the fate of the
survivors, bringing vividly to life their battle to endure 148 days
of the brutal Arctic winter, until an expedition headed by famed
Arctic explorer Bernt Balchen brought them to safety. Mitchell
Zuckoff takes the reader deep into the most hostile environment on
earth, through hurricane-force winds, vicious blizzards, and
subzero temperatures.Moving forward to today, he recounts the
efforts of the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. - led by
indefatigable dreamer Lou Sapienza - who worked for years to solve
the mystery of the Duck's last flight and recover the remains of
its crew.A breathtaking blend of mystery and adventure Mitchell
Zuckoff's Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a Modern
Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II is also a poignant reminder
of the sacrifices of our military personnel and a tribute to the
everyday heroism of the US Coast Guard.
