The second amendment of the Constitution has been vigorously debated ever since it was first penned. Are firearms necessary for the preservation of freedom or is the second amendment an antiquated law that has no place in today’s America? This book addresses the legal and moral arguments for and against the right to bear arms, while putting the amendment in context by studying the history of its purpose, inception, and evolution.

When Herman Melville published Moby-Dick, readers were thrilled by the terrifying concept of a vengeful, giant sperm whale attacking a ship. Few realized that the climax of the novel was not fiction, but a horrific historical reality. In 1820, the Nantucket whaleship Essex was rammed and shattered by an impossibly large, enraged sperm whale, leaving twenty men stranded in tiny lifeboats thousands of miles from land. What followed the sinking was a nightmare of survival that shocked the 19th-century world. The crew faced a brutal 90-day voyage across the unforgiving Pacific Ocean. Dehydrated, starving, and driven mad by the equatorial sun, the men were forced to make unimaginable choices. As their numbers dwindled, the survivors resorted to the darkest taboo of human existence: drawing lots to decide who would be killed and eaten so the others might live. This gripping historical narrative reconstructs the disastrous final voyage of the Essex. It explores the brutal economics of the Nantucket whaling industry, the complex psychology of extreme starvation, and the heavy moral burden carried by the few men who miraculously returned home. Venture into the darkest depths of the human will to survive. This is the harrowing true story of nature striking back, and the terrible price paid by the men who dared to hunt the oceans' greatest titans.
