The Strange Voyage of Donald Crowhurst - N Tomalin &. R Hall. Hardcover w dj. 1st Ed. 1970

From Goodreads:

"The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst tells the disturbing, darkly engrossing story of a yachtsman who entered a round-the-world race sponsored by the Sunday Times, gradually lost his mind, then disappeared, leaving his ship adrift in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. ... Journalists Nicholas Tomalin and Ron Hall provide a detailed reconstruction of Crowhurst's voyage, showing him as a mild-mannered, slightly eccentric English businessman who lighted onto yachting as a hobby, then contrived a massive fraud with forged log books to puff up his reputation and save his floundering company. Unfortunately, swindle gave way to madness, with Crowhurst descending into rambling speculations about human nature, the meaning of Life and the Universe, leading the authors to conclude that he probably committed suicide in hopes of achieving actualization." ~ Review by Christopher Saunders

A neat copy in good condition. The spine is square and solid; the blue vinyl boards clean and bright, and the pages lightly and uniformly tanned. The dust jacket is lightly edge worn with a few tape burns on the inside.
