A Voyage For Madmen by Peter Nichols Book Summary

“An extraordinary story of bravery and insanity on the high seas. . . . One of the most gripping sea stories I have ever read.” — Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm

In the tradition of Into Thin Air and The Perfect Storm, comes a breathtaking oceanic adventure about an obsessive desire to test the limits of human endurance.

In 1968 nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held and never before completed: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. 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.

Gorgeously written and meticulously researched by author Peter Nichols, this extraordinary book chronicles the contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time before cell phones, satellite dishes, and electronic positioning systems. A Voyage for Madmen is a tale of sailors driven by their own dreams and demons, of horrific storms, and of those riveting moments when a decision means the difference between life and death.

A great adventure. This was one of my favorite books. A good read, easy to understand, and inspiring.

Revealing and yet inaccessible. As the title suggests, this book is about a painfully inaccessible personal hobby of the privileged. It lets you peek into the type of men who pursue an extreme in an already extremely costly hobby. If you fall into a category of person that finds yachting accessible, I’m sure you would give this one 5 stars. For those like me, who don’t have the wisdoms of lived million-dollar boating experiences, I was unable to grasp the weight of it all. It simply left me hung on the many red flags of the collection of masochist captains who shrug when asked why they punish themselves to death. A similar synopsis in other extreme sporting chronicles. Broken men who do, to not think. This is acknowledged without filter by the author, who is a part of the yachting club himself. The self-awareness translated well and perhaps was therapeutic to publish.
