This book presents several extraordinarily compelling stories of people who demonstrated courage, perseverance and loyalty to their principles in extreme conditions. Ernest Shackleton and his companions endured an almost two-year struggle with the icy wilderness off the coast of Antarctica. Desmond Doss became the first soldier to receive the Medal of Honor for bravery without ever taking up a weapon. Josef Hasil was a nightmare for border guards and the State Security in the early years of Communist totalitarianism. After suffering a serious injury, Joe Simpson overcame an apparently hopeless fight for survival in the middle of the South American Andes. Immacule Ilibagiza miraculously survived the three-month genocide in Rwanda.
