Curious if anyone here has read it.
Excellent book, but different from the traditional "survival book". Very little focus on survival "techniques", but hands down the most in depth text on survival mindset and the reactions of individuals in survival situations I have ever read.
He covers a lot of territory but the book is extremely readable. I think it should be required reading for anyone who might ever find themselves in extremis. It uses case studies for examples - everything from plane crases to POW's to mountaineering accidents to shipwrecks.
Picked mine up at Hastings when I couldn't find anything else I cared to read. One of the better investments on my bookshelf.
