Anotace knihy

The gripping true account of eighteen heroic men trapped in the heart of the freezing Arctic.

Ideal reading for fans of Ranulph Fiennes, Michael Palin's Erebus and the Nathaniel Philbrick.

On September 16th, 1952, six members of the British North Greenland Expedition stood where no man had ever stood before: just seven hundred miles from the pole, they were eight thousand feet up in the middle of the Greenland ice-cap.

They were the only humans for hundreds of miles on this sea of ice and supplies had to be flown in, yet on this fateful day the six men watched as their supply plane plunged to the ground. The crew survived but they were now stranded in the heart of the arctic without adequate clothing and limited supplies as winter was beginning to descend.

How did these eighteen men survive on the ice? And how did the international community, particularly the United States Air Force, conduct one of the most remarkable rescue missions in history?

Rescue Below Zero is the astounding account of how the desire to survive can overcome the most difficult of situations.

"The author is to be congratulated on the care he has taken to be accurate and the way in which he has conveyed the privations and endurance of the members of the Hastings crew ... This gallant episode has been faithfully and excitingly retold." Yorkshire Post

"excellent" New York Herald Tribune
