Book Reviews of Death in the Silent Places
Book Review: A Fresh and Fair look at Real "Survival" stories
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Capstick's "Death in the Silent Places" presents a (thankfully) fresh look at six stories of yesteryear outdoor struggles that rival any modern day Apollo 13 or Kon Tiki adventures. As with all such events, Man is definitely the underdog but whether he survives or perishes, the record displays incredible skill, incredible courage, incredible determination against long odds. The men Capstick writes of here are the Lance Armstrongs and real-life Luke Skywalkers of another generation in places and times where "chutzpah" was a MINNIMUM requirement. Thankfully, Capstick retells these adventures without the stinted politics of the original accounts and thus presents an accurate experience of the raw nerve-jangling moments of the events for the reader instead of just some stodgy portrait from the Past. With Peter Capstick being a talented writer as well as the erudite historian of this genre he is, you'll not find anything more authorative or entertaining on these real-life thrillers than "Death in the Silent Places".
