Lost in Shangri-la by Mitchell Zuckoff

Lost in Shangri-La: A True Story of Survival, Adventure, and the Most Incredible Rescue Mission of World War II  by Mitchell Zuckoff gets mixed reviews, but for me it held my interest. I was impressed by the courage of the rescuers and by the rescue plan itself, something that hadn't been tired in that type of terrain. The Booklovers Book Discussion group will be talking about this book on Monday, March 26th at 2pm and at 7 pm. You may pick up a copy at the front deak of the Tipp City Public Library if you want to join the discussion. It's an easy read, capturing your imagination immediately , and if you like historical events you will find it fascinating. The author, Mitchell Zuckoff has been awarded for his writing for the Boston-Globe. Now a professor at Boston University College of Communication, Mr. Zuckoff lives in Boston with his wife and two children. Originally I had heard the author was from Cincinnati, but maybe that was earlier in his career.
