THE STORY THAT GRIPPED THE GLOBE
August 2010: the San Jose mine in Chile collapses trapping 33 men half a mile underground for 69 days.
Faced with the possibility of starvation and even death, the miners make a pact: if they survive, they will only share their story collectively, as 'the 33'.
1 billion people watch the international rescue mission.
Somehow, all 33 men make it out alive, in one of the most daring and dramatic rescue efforts even seen.
Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist Héctor Tobar is the man they choose to tell their story.
' An eloquent testament to the human spirit' The Times
'A masterful account of exile and human longing, of triumph in the face of all odds.'

Review
. . . an eloquent testament to the human spirit. (The Times)
Riveting . . . The best book I've read all year (Ann Patchett)
An astonishing tale of survival. (Spectator)
A masterful account of exile and human longing, of triumph in the face of all odds.
A gripping narrative, taut to the point of explosion . . . An electrifying, empathetic work of journalism that makes a four-year-old story feel fresh. (Kirkus)
Riveting . . . Tobar vividly narrates the miners' lives post-rescue as they come to terms with their life-changing experience and the media frenzy surrounding it. Rich in local color, this is a sensitive, suspenseful rendering of a legendary story. (Publishers Weekly, Most Anticipated Books of 2014)
His narrative cracks along at a suitably breathless pace... you're unlikely to find a more exciting account (Daily Mail)
An account that brims with emotion and strength. (USA Today)
Tobar plunges the reader into this world of uncertainty with visceral, present-tense prose and careful pacing . . . Whether the story is completely new to you, or if you were one of the millions glued to the news reports and wondering, will they make it-physically, emotionally, spiritually-you'll be greatly rewarded to learn how they did. (New York Times Book Review)
Chiseled, brooding . . . As Tobar works his way through each miner's recovery, the TV headlines recede from our memory, and a more delicate series of portraits emerges. (The Washington Post)
