About the book

Presents the life stories of those who have been confronted with insurmountable obstacles, opposition and oppression. Whether it's human rights activist Harry Wu, who spent 19 years in a Chinese labour camp, or Nobel Laureate and president of Costa Rica Oscar Arias Sanchez, each of the nine remarkable people featured here has faced the urgent and inescapable need to dig deep - either to rescue themselves or to forge a fresh way forward for others.
