RNLI crews are on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and regularly risk their lives to save others. This book contains the stories of 15 dramatic rescues, spanning the 200 years of the RNLI, from Sir William Hillary - founder of the organisation - who rescued 17 people in 1827 to more recent rescues, including Bill Deacon, who died after saving 10 people during a hurricane in 1997. $1 will be donated to the RNLI for every copy sold. Illustrated.
