Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors (Avon Nonfiction) - Softcover
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.

This is their story -- one of the most astonishing true adventures of the twentieth century.
