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.
