Cod fishermen on the Grand Banks ...village fishermen in Indonesia ... Japanese squid fishers in the North Pacific ... gill netters in Alaska -- William McCloskey has stood beside them all, sharing the stinging salt spray, working with them through pain, discomfort, and exhaustion.
Weaving politics around sea stories. Their Father's Work is the most wide-ranging yet personal tour of commercial fishing in print.
