Extreme Survival delivers the edge-of-your seat exhilaration and exceptional research Mike Tougias fans expect. In addition to interviewing over 100 survivors of perilous situations, he researched many historical figures who achieved the near impossible. He offers first person accounts from some of the toughest survivors in history, including John McCain, Mary Rowlandson (captive during King Phillip’s Indian War), Howard Blackburn, Captain Bligh, Holocaust survivor Victor Frankl, mountain man, Hugh Glass, Admiral Byrd, Shackleton, WWII pilot James Whitaker, Teddy Roosevelt, and USS Indianapolis survivors.
Tougias has earned critical acclaim and literary awards for his many bestseller non-fiction narratives. Explore his website to learn more about the 39 adult (and young adult) books he has written or co-authored, including the locally-based There’s a Porcupine in My OutHouse!
Everyone is welcome to this free program. The Tenney is accessible and a special fall dessert will be served!
