false 6055 1 <p>In 1968, nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. 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. <i>A Voyage for Madmen</i> 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> 9405 1 6 2002 A Voyage for Madmen total:117|5:43|4:50|3:22|2:2|1:0| 117 485 163 24 4 0 false false Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 10 10:25:11 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 10:25:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 18:46:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 19:01:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Mar 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 07 14:46:07 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 30 19:37:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Sep 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 08:37:45 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 20:24:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Aug 26 15:44:51 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 15:49:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Feb 14 15:27:11 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 15:29:09 -0800 2009 The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst, detailing as it does all the competitors in the race, their obsessions, nature...more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Feb 12 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 05:35:53 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 05:37:24 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Feb 09 09:52:18 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 09:53:23 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jul 21 17:10:41 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 17:12:34 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jan 21 06:40:20 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 06:50:57 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Apr 10 08:40:21 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 22:51:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Apr 01 09:47:29 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 09:50:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 09 09:57:59 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 09 09:58:05 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Apr 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 07 13:22:04 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 07 13:24:44 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 09:46:11 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 17:36:01 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Dec 09 16:53:00 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 09 16:54:50 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Mon Jul 14 09:40:17 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 09:41:10 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Jul 17 18:38:10 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 18:38:36 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon May 05 19:11:54 -0700 2008 Mon May 05 19:22:49 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Sep 10 10:44:18 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 11:41:18 -0700 2008
