John A. McPhee of the sea.

Just as John A. McPhee outlines the history of oranges, Sebastian Junger outlines "Men Against the Sea." At the very beginning of the book, Sebastian Junger tells you that this is not a novel or a fictionalization of the events of the last moments of Andrea Gail. He believes that if you read any fiction that, you would doubt the parts that are real facts. To this end, he has included many pieces of information about men against the sea; He describes the sea, the equipment needed to deal with the sea, and the lifestyle of the men who deal with the sea. Now some people may find his writing style has a feeling of tedium, tedium, and t-e-d-i-u-m. I find it has just been through enough to not leave out any piece of information to tie this all together. However, you may have to try to continue through it. Also, like John McPhee, Sebastian Junger was writing about different dangerous jobs and magazine articles when he sold this book before it was put together. He struggled to balance this between a sort of documentary and the thrill of the story. I think he did an excellent job.
