Living. History of the saved in the Andes

About the book
October 13, 1972, a small plane with a team of young rugbyists on board deviated from the course and crashed into the mountains. Of the forty -five passengers and crew members, sixteen survived. They fought for ten exhausting weeks in the snowy Andes, without warm clothes, without food and water, without means of communication, opposed severe nature and tried to get out to people.

The most difficult tests fell on their lot. From the category of those that expose the nature of man and reveal its essence. In some, wildness and atrocity wakes up, in others, on the contrary, exceptional heroism and self -sacrifice.

Pier Paul Reed meticulously approached work. For several months he collected materials for the book, interviewed and interviewed the survivors, their relatives and friends, checked the facts. He did everything to establish the truth and tell the world the story of unfortunate people who are forced to eat their comrades in order to survive.
