People Hunter Review

Book Review

Title: People Hunter: Thirty Years Chasing Down my Fellow Man

Author: Hal Lillywhite

Genre: Non-fiction/Autobiographical

Rating: ****

Review: This is the second book I have read by Hal Lillywhite while the first one was informative as this one is more entertaining detailing his accounts as a Search and Rescue officer. This subject interests me greatly as we hear about Search and Rescue operations on the news a lot and I have always been interested in the inner workings of these kinds of operations.

In the first chapter: What an Introduction to SAR! Hal Lillywhite talks about his first search and rescue mission despite his inexperience he agrees. This particular mission would turn into the largest mountain search in U.S. history, he also talks about the emotional load he felt from the concerned parents. I loved how Hal details these accounts in a chronological order but they are exciting enough to be rivetting. He talks about how on the first night of the search two of the climbers were found but the extreme weathers conditions made it too dangerous to continue the search that night. As the weather conditions improved more people were found but not all survived the extreme conditions on the mountain. By the time the rescue mission was over a few of the rescuers were extremely disheartened as 9 people lost their lives but their ray of hope was a small few they rescued made full recoveries. Lillywhite also talks about the aftermath of the rescue and how the subsequent investigation lead to significant improvements in search management and operations. I also liked the images Lillywhite to shows a more realistic view of what Hal is talking about.

In the succeeding chapters Lillywhite discusses the dangers and potential outcomes on unplanned hikes on the snowy mountains which led to a pair of women getting lost and not being discovered for four days as they had no idea of what to do in an emergency in the snow. This first section of the book has some great stories in it, most of them are quite complex even if they appear simple on the surface. I also liked the fact that we learn even extremely simple and everyday things like weather changes and nightfall can be disastrous in mountain rescues and can put major relays on missions. The sixth chapter heading; A Body or a Patient? caught my eye straight away.
