Reviews"Strauch's horrifying story of survival in the high Andes was the stuff of gruesome global headlines in 1972...But to Strauch, who kept silent about the ordeal for decades after he and 15 others endured 72 days stranded on a glacier, it was a spiritual experience." -- New York Post

SynopsisA personal story of survival, hope, and spiritual awakening in the face of unspeakable tragedy. It's the unfathomable modern legend that has become a testament to the resilience of the human spirit: the 1972 Andes plane crash and the Uruguayan rugby teammates who suffered seventy-two days among the dead and dying. It was a harrowing test of endurance on a snowbound cordillera that ended in a miraculous rescue. Now comes the unflinching and emotional true story by one of the men who found his way home. Four decades after the tragedy, a climber discovered survivor Eduardo Strauch's wallet near the memorialized crash site and returned it to him. It was a gesture that compelled Strauch to finally "break the silence of the mountains." In this revelatory and rewarding memoir, Strauch withholds nothing as he reveals the truth behind the life-changing events that challenged him physically and tested him spiritually, but would never destroy him. In revisiting the horror story we thought we knew, Strauch shares the lessons gleaned from far outside the realm of rational learning: how surviving on the mountain, in the face of its fierce, unforgiving power and desolate beauty, forever altered his perception of love, friendship, death, fear, loss, and hope., A personal story of unbelievable survival, hope, and spiritual awakening in the face of unspeakable tragedy. The Andes tragedy: one of the most extraordinary tales of physical endurance on record -- told by a survivor who was challenged to the extreme. It's the unfathomable modern legend that has become a testament to the resilience of the human spirit: the 1972 Andes plane crash, and the Uruguayan rugby teammates who suffered seventy-two days among the dead and dying, swallowed up by a silent mountain that was too high and too cold to sustain life. It was a harrowing tale of endurance on a snowbound cordillera that ended in a miraculous rescue. Now comes the unflinching and emotional true story by one of the men who found his way home. Four decades after the tragedy, a climber discovered survivor Eduardo Strauch's wallet near the memorialised crash site and returned it to him. It was a gesture that compelled Strauch to finally 'break the silence of the mountains.' In this revelatory and rewarding memoir, Strauch withholds nothing as he reveals the truth behind the life-changing event that challenged him physically and tested him spiritually, but would not destroy him. In revisiting a horror story we thought we knew, Strauch takes the reader along on his quest for closure, sharing the lessons he divined during the ordeal that are far outside the realm of rational learning: How surviving on the mountain, in the face of its fierce, unforgiving power and desolate beauty, forever altered his perception of love, friendship, death, fear, loss, and hope.
