What are some popular books about people who have overcome extraordinary difficulty?

1. Mein Kampf

   It’s a book about a poor Austrian art student who overcame all odds and became the most powerful man in Europe.

2. The Endurance. The story of Ernest Shackletons Arctic expedition, and the tale of his crew surviving the most grueling conditions while trying to escape the South Pole.

3. I don’t know if it is popular, but “Objective Secure” by Nick Lavery fits that bill.

4. Touching the Void

   Adrift- 76 Days at Sea

5. Unbroken, Lone survivor, I am Third

6. That doesn’t really narrow it down
