Histoire
It was 13 October 1972. Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, carrying a team of young rugby players, their families and friends, took off for the very last time. A deadly miscalculation saw F571 crash directly into the Andean mountains to devastating consequences: the body of the plane broke violently into two, its floor torn to smithereens; seats flew out of the air taking passengers with them. In the weeks that followed, the remaining people who were on board - the society of the snow - emerged to fight a dire, gruelling battle for survival.

Histoire
In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened.

Histoire
Nando Parrado was unconscious for three days before he woke to discover that the plane carrying his rugby team to Chile had crashed deep in the Andes, killing many of his teammates, his mother, and his sister. Stranded with the few remaining survivors on a lifeless glacier and thinking constantly of his father’s grief, Parrado resolved that he could not simply wait to die. So Parrado, an ordinary young man with no particular disposition for leadership or heroism, led an expedition up the treacherous slopes of a snowcapped mountain and across forty-five miles of frozen wilderness.

The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth. In 1819 the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with 20 crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than 90 days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, and disease and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival.

Seven months later, after joining a party of pioneers led by George Donner, they reached the Sierra Nevada Mountains as the first heavy snows of the season closed the pass ahead of them. In early December, starving and desperate, Sarah and 14 others set out for California on snowshoes and over the next 32 days endured almost unfathomable hardships and horrors.

These are the stories that defy conventional logic. The proverbial vanished without a trace incidences, which happen a lot more (and a lot closer to your backyard) than almost anyone thinks. These are the missing whose situations are the hardest on loved ones left behind. The cases that are an embarrassment for park superintendents, rangers, and law enforcement charged with Search & Rescue.

For two thousand years, cadavers have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.

Description
On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 original passengers and crew, only 16 made it off the mountain alive. For 10 excruciating weeks, they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, these men and women not only had to keep their faith; they had to make an impossible decision: Should they eat the flesh of their dead friends?
A remarkable story of endurance and determination, Alive is the dramatic best-selling account of one of the most harrowing quests for survival in modern times.

Good story but spoiled by the narration
I read the print version of this book when it was first published and wanted to hear it as an audiobook. I managed to finish it but was groaning at the ridiculous mispronunciations of the narrator which seemed to be intentional to me. Is there anyone who thinks that the name Jose is pronounced Joe-say, or Juan, Joo-Ann or on another occasion Hoo-Ann? He was even doing this with English words, eg, colon as co-lone and I think I heard helicopter as hel-ee-copter about fifty times. It's a good book and worth reading but I'd recommend you skip the audio book and opt for the print version this time.

Screenplay-like Reconstruction
This true-life tragedy is harrowing. Piers Paul Reid pens a heavily dramatized description of what happened to the survivors of a 1972 plane crash in the Andes mountains. I have never seen the film interpretation of the story, but I imagine it must be very much like this book. The scenes are mind's-eye vivid and the occurrences that Reid relates are straight out of a Hollywood storyboard. That said, there are episodes of dialogue that are *clearly* fictional, but are written to give readers impressions of the personalities involved. Hence, the narrative feels a little disengenuous.. this book is best characterized as "Based on a True Story" rather than being considered a documentary.
Regardless, the amazing challenges these kids faced (they were mostly teenagers) are nearly unbelievable, the frustration at near-miss rescue events is palpable, and the personalities involved are described with exquisite detail - I felt immersed in this jawdropping scenario. Reid generates a mind's-eye vivid setting.. readers can easily place themselves among the survivors and imagine what it must have been like. This is a viscerally-affecting narrative. The matter-of-fact descriptions of eating raw, rotting human bodies (and harvesting every edible piece) are genuinely gruesome.
By far the weakest aspect of this audiobook is the reading by Paul Ansdell. He exhibits professional diction, timbre, and cadence, but his pacing is off (setting playback at 1.15X makes up for some deficiencies), and his tone is far too matter-of-fact. Dreamscape Media should have hired someone else to read the book.
Despite taking a striking amount of artistic license, I rate 'Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors' 7.5/10 stars. Even with slightly subpar delivery, it absolutely merits a Credit. This incredible story would be great for a long drive or a lonely night shift.

I have always been fascinated by the story. I have seen the movie countless times , documentaries and I read the book by Nando. Yet there was still detail in this audio , particularly from the families perspective that I had not yet heard. It is a fantastic listen and I highly recommend it
