In this collection readers will find ten gripping tunnel stories from around the world. There are stories of surviving a mining disaster, selfless heroes, uncovering ancient treasure, smuggling people to freedom, and the building of tunnels deep beneath the sea. Did you know that tunnels were instrumental in the dramatic release of 72 hostages held for over four months in the Japanese Embassy in Lima, Peru in 1997? Or that during the Vietnam War, guerrilla fighters known as the Viet Cong created a sophisticated system of tunnels complete with four levels, trap doors and strategic ditches?
