About the Book
Wrecked links the story of America’s most infamous shipwreck to the story of an even larger disaster—the wreck of the American industrial economy. When the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in a Lake Superior storm on November 10, 1975, more was lost than the ship and the twenty-nine lives on board. The disaster was a human tragedy as well as an indictment of the American industrial policies that eventually cost the nation thousands of jobs and marooned hundreds of communities.

Written with a passionate yet factually grounded intensity, Wrecked shows that the reasons for the decline of industrial manufacturing in the upper Midwest are linked to why the Edmund Fitzgerald sank, and to the legal turmoil that followed for the victims’ families. The book conveys the sense of loss that still is felt by those affected, along with the outrage over the disappearance of manufacturing jobs and the inadequate maintenance and legal maneuvering over liability for the sinking of the ship. What follows is a fascinating critique of what went wrong and why.

About the Author 
Thomas M. Nelson is the Outagamie County executive (Appleton–Fox Valley, Wisconsin) and a former Wisconsin Assembly majority leader (2008–2010). His first book, One Day Stronger: How One Union Local Saved a Mill and Changed an Industry—and What It Means for American Manufacturing, is based on his work as an elected official to save a paper mill that had been shut down by a big bank and sold to a scrap dealer. The improbable tale earned him a starred Kirkus Review.

Nelson has served in elective office for twenty years and is a seasoned campaigner having run for U.S. House of Representatives (2016) and U.S. Senate (2022). His unique political experience yields important insights into his writing. Along with thoroughly researched subjects and effective use of vibrant, engrossing prose, his books are accessible to a wide audience.
