A Voyage for Madmen

In 1968, nine sailors embarked on a groundbreaking challenge to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop, a feat that had never been accomplished before. As they faced the relentless forces of nature over ten grueling months, only one would ultimately triumph, while the others grappled with madness, failure, and even death. In "A Voyage for Madmen," Peter Nichols vividly recounts this epic contest against the sea, highlighting the sailors’ inner struggles and the perilous conditions they encountered, all without the modern technology of today.
