Mile Underground: What They Found Was More Than Gold baixar o livro de graça

Southern Africa. 1960.
Dave Armstrong arrives with little more than an old Enfield motorcycle, a stubborn streak, and a willingness to go wherever the work takes him.
What follows is a journey deep into a world few outsiders ever saw.
From the copper mines of Tsumeb to the gold fields of South Africa, Armstrong works a mile underground among hard men, dangerous machinery, underground floods, collapsing rock and the constant threat of death beneath thousands of feet of earth.
Above ground lies another Africa entirely.
Desert roads disappearing into nowhere. Bush camps beneath endless stars. Cold beers on hotel verandas. Lions moving in the darkness beyond the firelight. Dust. Heat. Humour. Loneliness. And Schultz — a lion-scarred Rhodesian Ridgeback with a habit of sitting on your foot and leaning against your leg if he liked you. Once used to hunt lions around the mine compound, Schultz eventually retired to becoming one of the boys on the stoep after shift.
But underground, something else exists.
In a world where apartheid insists black and white should remain divided, the mines tell a different story. Deep beneath the earth, survival depends on the man standing beside you. Trust is earned in sweat, danger and hard ground — not skin colour.
As Armstrong forms unlikely friendships with the black miners working alongside him, he discovers a strange underground brotherhood few men above ground would ever understand.
Told with warmth and humour, you will laugh, feel the danger and experience remarkable technical authenticity. Mile Underground is more than a mining story. It is the story of a young man chasing freedom, purpose and a life less ordinary during one of Africa's hardest and most fascinating eras.
What they found was more than gold.
