NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. The Incredible Story of Brent Dyer and Donna Johnson who endured a plane crash in the mountains of Idaho and were forced to resort to cannibalism to survive. Bound in the original blue boards with a gilt-stamped blue cloth spine. From GoodReads: "Documents the efforts to survive undertaken by Donna Johnson and Brent Dyer after their plane crashed in the mountains of Idaho and the two had no choice but to consume the flesh of one of the dead passengers." From a 2024 review by Amanda: "My partner is related to one of the survivors of this tragic incident and one of his family members lent me this book as a must read but warned me that it would be emotionally heavy which it is. While its a quick read you cant help but feel the sense of despair and helplessness that the victims felt as they came to terms with their injuries their isolation and their hunger. They survived a horrific crash and had to cope with the death of Don and the insanity of Norm following his brain injury all while coming to terms with the fact that nobody was coming for them as Search and Rescue were likely looking in the wrong area and likely couldnt see their white plane amongst the white snow that continued to fall. I appreciated the authors historical review of cannibalism throughout the many different cultures that have practiced it out of necessity or to gain something spiritually or otherwise from the act. Without being in an extreme survival situation it is impossible to know what I or anyone else for that matter would do in those circumstances and I hold no judgment towards survivors who fall back on extreme measures such as these to stave off death. One thing that surprised me was the amount of supplies they took with them on their walk that served no practical purpose for survival such as a curling iron aftershave perfume etc; they were seriously injured and struggling to walk so I thought they would try to lighten their loads as much as possible but I can also understand how hard it must be to leave behind items that brought them comfort regardless of their impracticality. Im not surprised that they eventually ditched some of these items. I had to fight to hold back tears reading the section of the book when they were found and finally got a chance to call home and when Jimmy Robertston offered to bring the dog to them."
