Seagull One: The Amazing True Story of Brothers to the Rescue (University Press of Florida, $24.95) is the never-before-told story about the humanitarian organization that saves 4,200 Cuban rafters from death in the Florida Straits. Seagull One's title refers to the main character, José Basulto, whose radio call sign and aircraft, a twin-engine Cessna, go by the same name. The seagull is a recurring theme, since the bird represents hope for those lost at sea, letting them know they are close to land.

Author Lily Prellezo interviews over one hundred people associated with Brothers to the Rescue to weave together the riveting true account of these everyday heroes. 8pm
