Several years ago, I developed a special interest in the Andes crash, but for some reason I never sought out this book despite watching the movie and some documentaries. Perhaps I didn't yet know that Goodreads existed.

Either way, when I saw this, I decided to dive back into this disaster for old times' sake, and it's just as staggering to take in as it was originally. Nando shows courage, compassion, and self-awareness throughout, and it speaks well of him that he defends those spoken of poorly in initial accounts now that he can view their actions and behaviours through an older, retrospective lens.
