About

An account of a rugby team's survival on a glacier in the Andes for 72 days by survivor Nando Parrado.

Nando Parrado returns to the events described in Piers Paul Read's 1974 book, Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors which is the story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, most passengers of which were in a Uruguayan rugby team consisting of alumni of Stella Maris College. The flight crashed into the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972. When what little food they had run out after ten days, those still alive agreed that after their death the others should eat their bodies to survive.

Illustrated with monochrome images and maps.
