Meteorologists called the storm that hit
North America's eastern seaboard in October 1991 a "perfect storm"
because of the rare combination of factors that created it. In this 1997
nonfiction account, author Sebastian Junger conjures for the reader the
meteorological conditions that created the "storm of the century" and
the impact the storm had on many of the people caught in it. Chief among these
are the six crew members of the swordfish boat the Andrea Gail, all
of whom were lost 500 miles from home beneath roiling seas and high waves.
George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg star in the gripping film adaptation.
