Martha Laguardia-Kotite
So Others May Live: Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers: Saving Lives, Defying Death is the award-winning untold story of the US Coast Guard's quiet but resolute rescue swimmers. From deep ocean caves on the Oregon coast to the panicked and chaotic streets of post-Katrina New Orleans, here are their stunningly heroic stories.
In startlingly clear and exceptional writing, Martha LaGuardia-Kotite tells 12 heroic stories of the greatest maritime rescues attempted since the program began in 1985. These feats, told through the eyes of the heroes, reveal an understanding of how and why the rescuer, with flight-crew assistance, risks his or her own life to reach out to save a stranger.
Covering diverse environments - oceans, hurricanes, oil rigs, caves, sinking vessels, floods, and even Niagara Falls, So Others May Live is truly a can't-stop-listening collection.

Excellent story

On a $10 microphone in her den, with unlistenable stilted narration, the author reads significant passages where she stumbles over words, takes long, long pauses, and turns the pages she’s reading off of audibly.
This bothers me because of how powerful her writing and her story are. This book became a movie and is widely acclaimed. It deserves a professional presentation for the same reason we expect neat type-written pages in books, not someone’s sloppy handwriting.
The other professional reader is okay but really should not have tried what he seems to think is an English accent. It isn’t.
Terrible performance; amazing story
