Sixteen Men, Seventy-Two Days, and Insurmountable Odds--the Classic Adventure of Survival in the Andes

On October 12, 1972, an Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying a team of rugby players crashed in the remote snowy peaks of the Andes. Ten weeks later, only sixteen of the forty-five passengers were found alive. This is the story of those ten weeks spent in the shelter of the plane's fuselage without food and with scarcely any hope of a rescue. The survivors protected and helped one another, and came to the difficult conclusion that to live meant doing the unimaginable. Confronting nature at its most furious, two brave young men risked their lives to hike through the mountains looking for help. A tale of astonishing bravery and adventure, Alive is much more than a survival story, it is a breathtaking saga of human courage

The P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Perfect for the money
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black
Is this the best quality suit you can find, no. But it is way better than expected for the money. Worked perfectly for prom and cost way less than a rental. He looked very nice. Length and width of legs was a bit larger for him but he is a slender guy. 165lbs 5’11”

The style
Overall the suit is good. The picture shows white buttons, but came in black. I have to swap out the black for all white.
