From award-winning ABC News Chief National Correspondent Matt
Gutman, and written using exclusive interviews and information
comes the definitive account of the dramatic story that gripped the
world: the miracle rescue of twelve boys and their soccer coach
trapped in a flooded cave miles underground for nearly three
weeks--a pulse-pounding page-turner by a reporter who was there
every step of their journey out. After a practice in June 2018, a
Thai soccer coach took a dozen of his young players to explore a
famous but flood-prone cave. It was one of the boys' birthday, but
neither he nor the dozen resurfaced. Worried parents and rescuers
flocked to the mouth of a cave that seemed to have swallowed the
boys without a trace. Ranging in age from eleven to sixteen, the
boys were all members of the Wild Boars soccer team. When water
unexpectedly inundated the cave, blocking their escape, they
retreated deeper inside, taking shelter in a side cavern. While the
world feared them dead, the thirteen young souls survived by
licking the condensation off the cave's walls, meditating, and
huddling together for warmth. In this thrilling account, ABC News
Chief National Correspondent Matt Gutman recounts this amazing
story in depth and from every angle, exploring their time in the
cave, the failed plans and human mistakes that nearly doomed them,
and the daring mission that ultimately saved them. Gutman
introduces the elite team of volunteer divers who risked death to
execute a plan so risky that its American planners admitted, "for
us, success would have meant getting just one boy out alive." He
takes you inside the meetings where life and death decisions were
grimly made and describes how these heroes pulled off an improbable
rescue under immense pressure, with the boys' desperate parents and
the entire world watching. One of the largest rescues in history
was in doubt until the very last moment. Matt Gutman covered the
story intensively, went deep inside the caves himself, and
interviewed dozens of rescuers, experts and eye-witnessed around
the world. The result is this pulse-pounding page-turner that
vividly recreates this extraordinary event in all its
intensity--and documents the ingenuity and sacrifice it took to
succeed.
