Description
Down through the years the pages of the READER'S DIGEST have carried some of the most dramatic stories about people ever published. Most have ap- peared in the long-running and always popular "Drama in Real Life" series. Others have been "First Person Award" winners. Still others are so unusual that they do not fit into any category.
In PEOPLE IN PERIL we are proud to bring you eighty-six of the READER'S DIGEST's most outstanding human dramas. Some of them are classics which, once read, can never be forgotten... like The Boy Who Plunged Over Niagara... "I Fell 18,000 Feet and Lived"... Attacked by a Killer Shark!... and the first story in the book, which a later survey revealed to be one of the most widely read articles we have ever run: "... Just Be Ready!"But it's not just the intense drama that makes these accounts so vivid and exciting. For each one also tells of courage, strength and persistence against over- whelming odds far beyond what most of us ever en- counter. There is tragedy here too, and humor and lots of love. And in some cases, the people "in peril" were just downright lucky or perhaps they were saved to serve some higher purpose.We cordially invite you to ponder these thoughts as you enjoy the stories in this unique collection.-The Editors of the Reader's Digest
