Editorial Review:
Description: Heroic measures or foolhardy death wishes? EXTREME SACRIFICE unveils the reasons people risk their lives to save others - sometimes at the ultimate peril.
Amazon.com: Why would someone risk her or his life to save that of a complete stranger? Few things in human behavior are more puzzling than this. The reasons why some people are inclined to such inexplicably brave behavior is the focus of Extreme Sacrifice, part of The Unexplained series on A&E. Case studies of particular sudden heroes are examined, complete with interviews with the principals and witnesses to their actions. Examined in detail are the examples of a young woman who dove into the fast-moving Niagara River to save a stranger, a Secret Service agent who willingly threw himself into the line of fire during the 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan, and a young Marine in the Korean War who survived throwing himself atop a live grenade to save other soldiers. Interviews with the heroes give some insight into why they would behave the way they did, but what's perhaps more fascinating are interviews with medical researchers who are investigating whether there is a genetic predisposition for risky behavior and heroic actions. Some research indicates that a person's brain structure may destine an individual toward heroic and risky acts. This is a thought-provoking examination of a topic that has long fascinated humanity. --Robert J. McNamara
