Death and Deliverance: The Haunting True Story of the Hercules Crash at the North Pole

From back cover: On October 30, 1991, a Canadian CC-130 Hercules military transport aircraft, en route to the top secrete listening post Alert, crashed in the most isolated habitat in the world, the last ice blasted split of land before the North Pole. Miraculously, the crash itself killed only four of the eighteen people on board. But the survivors, grievously injured, could not last long in the deadly cold. "A tale of fear, despair and heroism.... The crash, the logistics of the rescue efforts, the hell the survivors went through - Lee brings them all together in a comprehensive but compassionate fashion." - Winnipege Free Press "Masterfully recreated those excruciating 32 hours...." Toronto Star ... Robert Mason Lee has been called "the freshest and tartest new voice in Canadian journalism." His newspaper and magazine articles have earned him many national honours; his first book, One Hundred Monkeys, was widely hailed as one of the best books ever written about Canadian politics.
