Paperback. What does it take to willingly jump from a helicopter into a raging hurricane to save a stranger?Brotherhood of the Fin is the gripping true story of Gerald R. Hoover's journey from an adventure-seeking young man to becoming one of America's elite United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers.Beginning in the early years of the Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue Swimmer Program, Hoover recounts the demanding training, unforgettable rescues, life-or-death decisions, and the extraordinary bond shared by the men willing to leap into violent seas when everyone else is trying to escape them.From dangerous ocean rescues to hurricane deployments, this powerful military memoir offers an authentic behind-the-scenes look at one of the world's most respected search and rescue organizations.More than an action-packed rescue story, Brotherhood of the Fin is about courage, sacrifice, leadership, perseverance, and the lifelong brotherhood forged through extraordinary service.Whether you're fascinated by Coast Guard operations, military history, survival stories, first responders, aviation, or inspirational true stories, this unforgettable memoir delivers an inside look at one of the most demanding jobs on Earth.Perfect For Readers Who EnjoyMilitary MemoirsCoast Guard HistorySearch and Rescue StoriesHelicopter Rescue MissionsHurricane Rescue OperationsOcean SurvivalTrue Adventure BooksMilitary BiographySpecial OperationsFirst Responder StoriesLeadershipInspirational MemoirsMaritime HistoryVeterans Excerpts were featured in Tom McCarthy's book, The Greatest Coast Guard Rescue Stories Ever Told. Here's what others have said: From Goodreads: ".This is an exciting book for anyone who enjoys real-life "human being vs. nature" stories. I was on the edge of my seat numerous times. I enjoyed learning about the Coast Guard rescue swimmer program and what it was like to be involved in rescue efforts following Hurricane Katrina. The author's voice is engaging -- his dauntless and somewhat swashbuckling personality really comes through. The Coasties in this book descend into raging storms and life-threatening situations, where they tell terrified victims, "Don't worry, we do this all the time." According to Hoover, the number-one job requirement is to "rather die than fail." From Amazon:: ".Amazing, true stories, of US Coast Guard rescue swimmers / heroes. Couldn't put down this book.scary, heroic.very well written. You men & women are a very special "breed" and we (US citizens) can't / don't thank you enough for your service!! These are the details you never see or read about in the news to know what really goes on at the scene of such incidents. Fast read.different story & different heroes in each chapter. Highly recommended!" This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
