Their plane crashed high in the Andes. Their only shelter was the plane's shattered fuselage, their only supplies a little wine and some bits of candy. In the beginning, there were 32 survivors. Then, only 27, then, 19...and, in the end, 16. This is their story -- the greatest modern epic of catastrophe and human endurance. Those who survived clung to life with extraordinary tenacity...and made the most difficult decision in order to cheat starvation. "A masterpiece of narrative....It is inconceivable to me that this story could have been better told." --Graham Greene

On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the forty-five original passengers and crew, only sixteen made it off the mountain alive. For ten excruciating weeks they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, they were forced to do what would have once been unthinkable ... This is their story -- one of the most astonishing true adventures of the twentieth century.
