A classic in the literature of survival. On October 12, 1972, a Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying a team of rugby players crashed in the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 people on board, only 16 survived. With stories of those who perished and those who were rescued, this is the story of how the survivors endured, how they were forced to eat the flesh of their dead companions to survive, how they organized a death pact, and how two young men trekked across the mountains looking for help—and ultimately found it.
