Description:
<b>More than 30 riveting - and true! - survival stories from Larry Verstraete, the master of adventure non-fiction.</b>

<p>

A slave in mid-1800s North Carolina squeezes into a 2' x 3' box and has friends mail him to Philadelphia . . . and freedom. A doctor injects 8000 Polish Jews with a substance that makes it appear they have typhus, getting them sent into quarantine instead of to death camps. Apollo 13 astronauts use duct tape, a hose, and other spare parts to fix failed machinery and

bring their spacecraft safely home.

<p>

Following the popularity of the award-winning <i>At the Edge: Daring Acts in Desperate Times</i>, winner of the Silver Birch Award for nonfiction, this new collection from Larry Verstraete features over 30 incredible true stories of survivors who found creative ways to beat impossible odds.
