On October 12, 1972, an Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying a
team of rugby players crashed in the remote snowy peaks of
the Andes. Ten weeks later, only sixteen of the forty-five
passengers were found alive. This is the story of those ten
weeks spent in the shelter of the plane's fuselage without
food and with scarcely any hope of a rescue. The survivors
protected and helped one another, and came to the difficult
conclusion that to live meant doing the unimaginable.
Confronting nature at its most furious, two brave young men
risked their lives to hike through the mountains looking for
help -- and ultimately found it.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights
into the book, including author interviews, recommended
reading, and more.
