Seventy-Two Days Stranded in the Andes: The Ultimate True Story of Human Endurance

In October 1972, a chartered flight carrying a Uruguayan collegiate rugby team crashed deep in the snow-covered Andes Mountains. Stranded at 12,000 feet with freezing temperatures, no cold-weather gear, and zero food supplies, the survivors faced an unthinkable choice to stay alive as search efforts were called off.

Drawing on exclusive interviews with the sixteen survivors, Piers Paul Read presents the definitive, respectful account of their seventy-two-day ordeal, culminating in a heroic trek across mountain peaks to find rescue.
