Description

Now an important motion picture starring Drew Barrymore, Ted Danson, Kristen Bell, Tim Blake Nelson, John Krasinski, and Vinessa Shaw―an account of the dramatic rescue of three gray whales trapped under the ice in Alaska in 1988.
Set in Cold War–era 1988, Big Miracle tells the actual story in the back of the remarkable, abnormal, and oftentimes uproarious event that mesmerized the world for weeks. On October 7, an Inuit hunter near Barrow, Alaska, found three California Gray whales imprisoned in the Arctic ice. Previously, as used to be nature’s way, trapped whales all the time died. Not this time. Tom Rose, who used to be covering the event for a Japanese TV station, compellingly describes how oil company executives, environmental activists, Inupiat people, small business people, and the U.S. military boldly worked together to rescue the whales. He also tells the stories of probably the most more than 150 international journalists who brought the story to the world’s attention. The rescue used to be followed by millions of people world wide as Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev joined the forces of their two nations to lend a hand free the whales.
