Join author Thomas M. Nelson as he discusses his new book, Wrecked: the Edmund Fitzgerald and the Sinking of the American Economy, which connects the story of America’s most infamous shipwreck to an even greater disaster—the collapse of the nation’s industrial economy.
When the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a Lake Superior storm on November 10, 1975, the tragedy claimed more than a ship and twenty-nine lives. It exposed the broader consequences of American industrial policies that would go on to cost thousands of jobs and devastate entire communities.
Written with both passion and precision, Wrecked reveals how the decline of Midwest manufacturing is tied not only to the circumstances that doomed the Fitzgerald but also to the legal battles that followed for victims’ families.
