Alive by Piers Paul Read
"Alive" is a gripping true story of survival, recounting the harrowing ordeal of a Uruguayan rugby team whose plane crashes in the Andes mountains in 1972. Stranded for over two months in the harsh, freezing wilderness, the survivors face unimaginable hardships, including avalanches, starvation, and the devastating decision to resort to cannibalism to stay alive. The book is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive against all odds.
