{"product_id":"perdidos-em-shangri-la","title":"Lost in Shangri-La","description":"The most incredible rescue mission of World War II—a true story of survival and adventure. On May 13, 1945, twenty-four American soldiers boarded a cargo plane for a flight over Shangri-La, a beautiful and mysterious valley deep in the mountainous jungles of Dutch New Guinea. When the plane crashed, three passengers miraculously escaped: Margaret Hastings, John McCollom, and Kenneth Decker. Their only chance was to brave a harrowing descent down the mountainside, a journey that would take them directly into the territory of a superstitious tribe that had never had contact with civilization. Lost in Shangri-La was written based on extensive and meticulous research by the author, analyzing military documents, letters, Hastings's diary, and other sources. Zuckoff visited the crash site and interviewed natives of the tribe, who, due to a local prophecy, believed the three had been spirits sent to announce the end of times. From the moment of the crash to the thrilling rescue, the book is breathtaking. A story of heroes who traversed a dense forest to find help; of how some paratroopers risked their own lives to save them; and of how a colonel devised a daring rescue mission using never-before-tried resources. \"Mitchell Zuckoff has brilliantly reconstructed one of the most stunning episodes in history.\" (Washington Post) \"A flawless telling of an incredible story.\" (New York Times)","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159441981692,"sku":"9788528616453","price":84.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/cf7c171267799daf03a0c9fa54377530.jpg?v=1778322352","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/perdidos-em-shangri-la","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
