At The Edge: Daring Acts in Desperate Times

by Larry Verstraete

When people face crisis situations, they must make critical life-or-death decisions. Stay or flee? Resist or submit? Help another or save yourself?

More than twenty incredible true stories show people facing wrenching choices, and the decisions that had to be made, at the edge…

A man sees a stranger fall into the path of an oncoming train. Does he try to help, or stay safe and let another die?
A tsunami bears down on a woman and two children. She can only hold one. Which child does she let go?
A young man sees his friend being attached by a polar bear. If he tries to help, he could be mauled. What action should he take?

What would you do?
