About the Book

"Society of Snow: The True Story of Flight 571 and the Miracle of the Andes" by Harper Blackwood is an unforgettable tale of survival, resilience, and the extraordinary lengths to which humans will go to stay alive.


On October 13, 1972, a chartered Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying 45 passengers, including a rugby team and their friends, crashed into the remote and treacherous Andes Mountains. Stranded in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth, the survivors faced unimaginable challenges: sub-zero temperatures, crippling injuries, and the terrifying reality of dwindling supplies. As days turned into weeks, hope began to fade, and the group was forced to confront a harrowing decision that would test their humanity and forever alter their lives.


This meticulously researched account delves deep into the 72-day ordeal that captivated the world. Through the voices of the survivors themselves, *Society of Snow* reveals the profound psychological and moral struggles they endured, including the controversial choice to resort to cannibalism in their desperate bid for survival. The story doesn't end with their dramatic rescue-Harper Blackwood also explores the survivors' emotional return to society, the media frenzy that followed, and the enduring legacy of their experience.


"Society of Snow" is not just a story of survival; it is a powerful exploration of the human spirit and the ethical dilemmas that arise in extreme circumstances. It challenges readers to consider the boundaries of morality and the indomitable will to live. Through vivid descriptions and gripping narrative, this book offers an intimate look at one of the most extraordinary survival stories of the 20th century-a story that continues to resonate with readers today.
