Getting Out Alive: 13 Deadly Scenarios and How Others Survived

by Scott Williams

Captivating stories of people stranded and fighting for their lives against harsh, unmerciful conditions

Includes narratives of being surrounded by a forest fire, lost in the Amazon, marooned on an island, caught in an icy blizzard, and many more

A unique combination of fictional scenarios, true accounts, and instructive sidebars, Would You Survive? reveals the three vital ways to cheat death when all seems lost: avoid panic, know your survival skills, and maintain a relentless determination to make it out alive. Teaching by example, the characters in these adventures use real-life survival tactics — including navigating, building shelters, finding water, and signaling for help.
