Attachments: xx, 265 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates :illustrations (chiefly colour), maps, colour portraits ;20 cm. Summary: In June 2018, for seventeen days, the world watched and held its breath as the Wild Boars soccer team were trapped deep in a cave in Thailand. Marooned beyond flooded cave passages after unexpected rains, they were finally rescued, one-by-one, against almost impossible odds, by an international cave-diving team that included Australians Dr Richard 'Harry' Harris and Dr Craig Challen. Harry and Craig were chosen for their medical expertise and cave diving knowledge, but this dangerous rescue asked so much more of them. They had to remain calm under extreme pressure and intense scrutiny, adapt to constantly changing circumstances and, most importantly, build trust among the rescue team and with the young boys and their coach, whose lives were in their hands. An astonishing and moving story of courage, determination and compassion told by two Aussie heroes, who were made joint Australians of the Year for their key role in the rescue. This Young Readers' edition has been specially edited and condensed for a younger audience and includes new maps and diagrams explaining the rescue as well as photographs, a timeline and glossary, and a new introduction especially for young readers written by the two authors. : Challen, Craig Harris, Richard Subject: Caving--Search and rescue operations Caving--Search and rescue operations--Thailand Caving accidents--Thailand Subject: Chiang Rai (Thailand : Province) ------------------------------ 920497392 Available at Grenfell Adult Non Fiction 796.525 CHA -----------------------------------------------
