[edit] CLOSE TO SHORE
As the idle rich thronged the Jersey Shore in the summer of 1916, America was at its most confident. But a series of horrific shark attacks led to a national frenzy, forcing President Woodrow Wilson to mobilize the US navy. This is a retelling of the true story that inspired the film 'Jaws'.
As the idle rich thronged the palatial hotels of the Jersey Shore in the summer of 1916, America was at its most self-confident. But the world's first industrial superpower was about to receive a series of terrifying shocks. Sharks, it was believed, were not man-eaters, so when a lone Great White shark began to develop a taste for human flesh, America went into total denial. Only after the most horrific attacks was the truth admitted - and an unprecedented national frenzy forced President Woodrow Wilson to mobilize the US Navy in an attempt to put nature back in its place. Combining history and adventure, this is the first book on the events that pitted 20th-century technology against an ancient, mythic enemy and became the model for Peter Benchley's JAWS.
