Book Reviews of So Others May Live: Coast Guard's Rescue Swimmers: Saving Lives, Defying Death
Book Review: Great book, great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The weather Channel just did a story on this author and book featuring Hurricane Katrina rescues. Commander LaGuardia-Kotite, USCGR has written a great book about men and women who go out and rescue lives when everyone else is told to stay home and in a safe harbor. Her interviews with the original starting members gave a look into the uncertainty of the program. As 13 year member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, I have watched and help SAR teams with their training. I am very proud of the Coast Guard and the fine people who serve and save lives. I highly recommend this book to all the boating public and pray they never have to call a MAYDAY.
