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 Hector 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.''
Los Angeles Times



Industry Reviews
'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
