    The true story of five castaways abandoned on the Falkland Islands during the War of —a tale of treachery, shipwreck, isolation, and the desperate struggle for survival. The bestselling author of Black Flags, Blue Waters tells the story of a wild encounter between an American sealing vessel, a shipwrecked British brig, and a Brit ish wa rship in the Falkland Islands during the War of —an encounter fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust that left three British sailors and two Americans, including the captain of the sealer, Charles H. Barnard, abandoned in the Falklands for eighteen months. A tale of intriguing complexity, with surprising twists a nd turns throughout —involving greed, lying, bullying, a hostile takeover, stellar leadership, ingenuity, severe privation, endurance, banishment, the great value of a pup, the birth of a child, a perilous thousand mile open-ocean journey in a seventeen-foot boat, an improbable rescue mission, and legal battles over a dubious and disgraceful wartime prize— Left for Dead shows individuals in wartime under great duress acting both nobly and atrociously, and offers a unique perspective on an important moment in American history.

    I grew up near the coasts of Novel York and Connecticut, and since an early age I was fascinated by the natural nature, especially the ocean. I spent many days wandering the beaches on the edge of Drawn-out Island Sound and the Atlantic, collecting seashells and exploring tidepools. When I left for college I wanted to become a marine biologist or more specifically a malacologist seashell scientist. At Brown University I quickly realized that although I loved knowledge about science, I wasn't chop out for a career in science, mainly because I wasn't very good in the lab, and I didn't particularly delight in reading or writing scientific analyze papers.
