Description
This book presents several extraordinarily compelling stories of people who demonstrated courage, perseverance and loyalty to their principles in extreme conditions. Ernest Shackleton and his companions endured an almost two-year struggle with the icy wilderness off the coast of Antarctica. Desmond Doss became the first soldier to receive the Medal of Honor for bravery without ever taking up a weapon. Josef Hasil was a nightmare for border guards and the State Security in the early years of Communist totalitarianism. After suffering a serious injury, Joe Simpson overcame an apparently hopeless fight for survival in the middle of the South American Andes. Immaculée Ilibagiza miraculously survived the three-month genocide in Rwanda.
