Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar

We all remember the frightening story of the Chilean miners who were trapped for over two months. Well, this is their story. Hector Tobar was selected by the miners to write this book, and he had access to all of them find out what had happened. The book starts with individuals preparing for work that day and ends with their release and a follow-up afterwards. It's all fascinating. And certainly eye-opening. We saw the media reports but there is so much more to it all. The author lets us know some of the individuals and how they relate to each other as their time together underground continues. It isn't all pretty, that's for sure.

This book triggered a lot of good conversation in my book group. I'd recommend it for any discussion on how groups interact and leaders emerge. - June
