Anyone who sat glued to CNN during the aftermath of Katrina will appreciate these personal tales of rescue participation from Coast Guard personnel. Written in a casual, conversational style, this book will appeal equally to adults and young adults. It would make an excellent gift for any student considering there future career options, since the book outlines a variety of vocational choices within the organization. While showing how challenging it is to become a member of these rescue teams, it also illustrates the variety of choices which led each of these individuals to their vocation, and makes the challenge seem attainable. In this day and age, when truly valuable role models appear to be in short supply, these profiles provide a useful counterpoint to rap stars and rock bands. This book would be equally useful on the shelves of career counselors, and in classrooms studying Katrina.
