How will the world see the 20th century a hundred years from now? For many, it was like living right on the edge of a turbulent ocean that threatened to engulf them; and sometimes it did. In this thoughtful book, Mike Robbins looks at the century just past through those who lived it, and the books they left behind. What was it like to crew the last great sailing ships?
