Apr. 9th, 2011 04:13 pmTitle: Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World
Author: Joan Druett
Genre: History (19th C maritime)

Synopsis: A shipwreck leaves five men stranded on a sub-Antarctic island with little in the way of supplies and less hope of rescue. Excellent leadership and resourcefulness turns the little band into real-world Robinson Crusoes. In a bizarre coincidence, at the same time, another crew is shipwrecked on the other side of the island. The tragedy that results from the stunning lack of leadership on the part of the second captain illustrates the difference a leader can make in this real-life disaster story.
Thoughts:( So, what did you think? )
