The men and women of the Coast Guard are the forgotten heroes of the armed services, writes journalist David Helvarg. In his new book “Rescue Warriors,” Helvarg takes us inside the world of ‘coasties’ as they deal with hurricanes and oil spills, make drug busts and handle distress calls. Helvarg’s other books include “Blue Frontier” and “50 Ways to Save the Ocean.”

Guests:

David Helvarg, journalist, author and president of the Blue Frontier Campaign
