It was a feat that had never been accomplished and one that would forever change the face of sailing. Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death.</p><p>In this extraordinary book, Peter Nichols chronicles a contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time before cell phones, satellite dishes, and electronic positioning systems. <em>A Voyage for Madmen</em> is a tale of sailors driven by their own dreams and demons, of horrific storms in the Southern Ocean, and of those riveting moments when a split-second decision means the difference between life and death.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A riveting account of the triumphant human spirit."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Reads like a suspense novel."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"Spellbinding."--<em>Wall Street Journal</em><br><br>"A haunting story...[that] succeeds on the grandest scale."--The Oregonian<br><br>"Extraordinary ...One of the most gripping sea stories I have ever read."--Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm<br><br>"Fascinating...A great story...an excellent examination of the world's first nonstop, solo race around the world."--San Diego Union Tribune<br>
