A story of hope and determination. No one could have imagined that there were survivors of a plane crash in extreme conditions in the Andes Mountains, but there were sixteen! One of them, Roberto Canessa, goes on to become one of the world's leading pediatric cardiologists.
This book is a retelling of those days after the crash and the experiences of fighting to live. Also, genuine testimonies of patients, family, co-workers and friends of how this man was forged by his ordeal on the mountain and how in turn it forged him into an extraordinary doctor.
Absolutely amazing story. The movie of this story/book is titled "Alive!"
