They Lived to Tell the Tale

Reader's Digest Association

3.5/5 ( ratings)

This book brings together more than 50 thrilling stories about men and women who have survived incredible trials of endurance and achieved heroic feats in adversity. Some of these remarkable people are well-known, including Nelson Mandela, Stuart Diver and Lance Armstrong; others are simply ordinary people who were caught up in extraordinary events, such as Shirley Young, the New Zealand girl who was trapped under a burning petrol tanker. It covers traumatic events such as the 9/11 and 2005 London terrorist attacks, takes the reader into jungles, volcanoes and the eyes of storms, and ranges back in history through world wars to the early days of polar exploration. Each gripping story is further brought to life with photographs, diagrams, maps and other illustrations that take the reader into the heart of the story. These tales of super-human endurance will thrill, shock, move and inspire you.
