The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst

This book tells the disturbing and engrossing story of Donald Crowhurst, an amateur sailor who entered a round-the-world race sponsored by the Sunday Times.

Crowhurst, a mild-mannered English businessman, attempted to fake his journey by forging log books and sending false radio reports.

However, his hoax led to mental deterioration, and he eventually disappeared, leaving his ship adrift in the Atlantic.

The authors provide a detailed reconstruction of Crowhurst's voyage, analyzing his mental state and the circumstances that led to his tragic end.

The book includes Crowhurst's last writings, photographs, and charts, making it a compelling and gripping read.
