YEAR LA TIMES BOOK PRIZE FINALIST 'Riveting ...The best book I've
read all year.' Ann Patchett 'An astonishing tale of survival'
Spectator THE STORY THAT GRIPPED THE GLOBE August 2010: the San
Jose mine in Chile collapses trapping 33 men half a mile
underground for 69 days. Faced with the possibility of starvation
and even death, the miners make a pact: if they survive, they will
only share their story collectively, as 'the 33'. 1 billion people
watch the international rescue mission. Somehow, all 33 men make it
out alive, in one of the most daring and dramatic rescue efforts
even seen. Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist Hector Tobar is the
man they choose to tell their story. ' An eloquent testament to the
human spirit' The Times 'A masterful account of exile and human
longing, of triumph in the face of all odds.' Los Angeles Times
