description: From the terror of a father and his young son trapped in a Cornish cave by a huge storm tide to a terrified child trapped in an upturned pleasure boat off the coast of Australia...from a crane operator imprisoned in his cabin above a raging fire in Atlanta to the victim of a stabbing who is so close to death a young doctor must perform open heart surgery on the floor of a London pub to save his life. This is a unique and extraordinary anthology of heroism in the face of disaster, and the remarkable courage and determination displayed by those who risk their lives to save others. It is a celebration of the power of the human spirit against all the odds.
