Long description:

A remarkable World War II account of a maritime attack off the West African coast, for fans of Steven Sheinkin and Deborah Heiligman.

At the height of World War II, the RMS Laconia was torpedoed by a German submarine five hundred miles off the coast of western Africa. The attack triggered a series of unprecedented events involving allies and enemies from both sides, and left survivors adrift at sea in shark infested oceans, fighting to stay alive with little food or water.

Suspenseful and informative, and featuring historic photographs, this incredible true account is a testament to the idea that compassion can rule over conflict-even during the cruelties of war.

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

"This epic story races along, unspooling like a movie before our eyes-artfully, dramatically, revealing a little known part of WWII history. An intriguing book."?Doug Stanton,
