Lost in Shangri-la : a true story of survival, adventure, and the most incredible rescue mission of World War II /by Mitchell Zuckoff/384 p

During the last days of World War II a plane crashed on a South Pacific island where white men had rarely been. Sightseeing trips over "Shangri-La" were a way to reward military personnel and relieve boredom. The plane crashed leaving three survivors fighting to stay alive in the unforgiving jungle. The book introduces us to the two men and one woman who overcame the odds to be rescued. Along the way, they run into primitive tribes who by dumb luck decide not kill them. Although luck does play a part, mostly their tenacity and bravery keep them alive long enough for the odds defying rescue mounted by the military. There's action, sexual tension and intense emotion --I can see this book becoming a great movie.
