Within the boundaries of Isle Royale National Park lie the remains of some of this nation's most famous shipwrecks. The America, Emperor and Cox are only three of the significant treasures. The National Park Service study of these wrecks was the template for the future work of the Submerged Cultural Resources Unit. The study's archeological revelations had a broad impact on divers and shipwreck investigation, but the limited press run kept it from general distribution. Now, the publishers of Lake Superior Magazine produce a "popular" edition to shed important light on this historical record. This volume will be of immense interest to shipwreck enthusiasts, divers, researchers and historians.

reviewed Shipwrecks of Isle Royale National Park: The Archeological Survey on May 23, 2008 Shipwrecks of Isle Royale National Park: The Archeological Survey
Very much worth revisiting if you've read it before--very much worth discovering if you haven't. A tense and meticulously told true crime story with real journalistic care about a profile act of racial violence (with more than a little police complicity) in Detroit in and around the 1967 riots.
Hersey was an interesting and versatile writer. His portfolio is diverse--both lyrical and pragmatic, but in this work he opened important doors for the hard-edged reporting style of prose into the new more complex sociological terrain of the Civil Rights/there's a riot goin' on era.
This book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel...or as part of the "muckraking" social advocacy stream in American literature, which dates back in it strength to the 1870s.
I think Hersey is a writer, famous in his day, who deserves reappraisal. He did a lot of different things well. Not easily categorized in the totality of his work, which may be why he's not appreciated as much as he should be.
