DESCRIPTION:For three decades following World War II\, the Great Lakes ove
 rtook Europe as the epicenter of global economic strength. .\nhttps://cmpl

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The region was the beating heart of the wo
 rld economy\, possessing all the power and prestige Silicon Valley does to
 day.&nbsp\; And no ship represented the apex of the American Century bette
 r than the 729-foot-long Edmund Fitzgerald―the biggest\, best\, and
  most profitable ship on the Lakes.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;But on November 10\, 1975
 \, as the &ldquo\;storm of the century&rdquo\; threw 100 mile-per-hour win
 ds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior\, the Mighty Fitz found itself at th
 e worst possible place\, at the worst possible time. When she sank\, she t
 ook all 29 men onboard down with her\, leaving the tragedy shrouded in mys
 tery for a half century.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;In The Gales of November\, award-win
 ning journalist John U. Bacon presents the definitive account of the disas
 ter\, drawing on more than 100 interviews with the families\, friends\, an
 d former crewmates of those lost. Bacon explores the vital role Great Lake
 s shipping played in America&rsquo\;s economic boom\, the uncommon lives t
 he sailors led\, the sinking&rsquo\;s most likely causes\, and the heartbr
 eaking aftermath for those left behind―"the wives\, the sons\, and 
 the daughters\,&rdquo\; as Gordon Lightfoot sang in his unforgettable ball
 ad.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Focused on those directly affected by the tragedy\, The G
 ales of November is both an emotional tribute to the lives lost and a prop
 ulsive\, page-turning narrative history of America&rsquo\;s most-mourned m
 aritime disaster.</p>\nhttps://cmpl.libnet.info/event/15433753
