The achievements of the RNLI, often romanticised, depend on ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Drawing on first hand accounts of the rescues and the decisions that shaped the changing lifeboat service, this book aims to tell the story of the lifeboat service through the words and actions of the people involved.

About the Author
RAY KIPLING joined the RNLI as a graduate trainee in 1973, served as its public relations officer and was Deputy Director from 1987 to 2001. He is the author of three books on the RNLI: A Source Book of Lifeboats (Ward Lock, 1982), Rescue By Sail and Oar (Tops'l Books, 1982), Strong to Save (with Susannah Kipling, Patrick Stephens Ltd, 1995). He is probably the only person to have met seven of the eight post-war lifeboat gold medallists (and to know the son of the eighth) and is ideally place to chart the progress of the RNLI in recent years, particularly through his extensive network of lifeboat people.
