Reviews
A scholarly but highly readable treatment of a subject holding an inordinate fascination for many people. -- Library Journal Cullen reads in a riveting deadpan. His voice is low key, but the urgency and drama of the stories come through loud and clear. For survival fans. -- Kliatt With painstaking research, riveting detail and elegant prose, [Leslie] creates a keen psychological study as well as a paean to the courage, resourcefulness and perseverance of the human body and mind. -- Publishers Weekly The ultimate book of ordeals...Fascinating, entertaining, and horrifying. I heartily recommend it. -- Paul Theroux
