I read this book as a kid and recently saw the same paperback edition for sale so I grabbed it to reread it, as I all but forgot the story over the years. It is the true story of a Urguayan rugby team who, after their plane crashed in a remote section of the Andes, were forced to eat their dead teammates in order to survive. It's an interesting story that makes you realize their ordeal was as much mental as it was physical. Recommended.

This book is certainly not for everyone, especially those of weak constitution. You get all the details of the crash and aftermath. If you can hack it, I highly recommend this book.

Wow. What a journey - absolutely insane what all they dealt with during and after the accident.
