Summary

On the Night of April 9, 1997, Warren Macdonald took his last step as a "complete" human being. An experienced mountaineer and committed environmental activist, he had set off to climb Mount Bowen on Hinchinbrook Island, off the east coast of Australia. But what began as a two-day adventure suddenly turned into a nightmare, when a massive slab of rock sheared off the mountain, crushing and trapping Macdonald beneath it for two horrendous days and nights while his companion hiked out for help. The accident would change Macdonald's life forever and test the boundaries of human potential. A Test of Will: One Man's Extraordinary Story of Survival is a gripping tale of profound courage, strength of spirit and sheer tenacity in the face of overwhelming odds -- a story that will both haunt and inspire you from the first moment of catastrophe. Book jacket.
