Alive
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
