Will to Live: Dispatches from the Edge of Survival

Life hangs in the balance in a survival situation, where one wrong decision can make the difference between living and dying. In Will to Live, Les Stroud calls upon his decades of survival experience to recount both famous and lesser-known survival stories while explaining what went right, what went wrong -- and why. Is it luck or knowledge that makes the difference? A well-equipped survival kit or the will to live? The book is an inspiring testament to the human instinct to prevail against all odds, a practical look at what it takes to endure the unthinkable, and a guide to help answer the eternal question: Do you have what it takes to survive?
