This is a wonderful book about a truly remarkable, moving and literally tragic misadventure. I first stumbled across Donald Crowhurst’s story through a terrific Channel 4 feature film, ''Deep Water'', and was so captivated by it that I bought this and another account of the race (fellow competitor Bernard Moitessier’s ''The Long Way'' which, for the record, doesn’t really touch on the Crowhurst story). | This is a wonderful book about a truly remarkable, moving and literally tragic misadventure.
