About

How a 'nerdy' Australian flower farmer, barrister, scientist and engineer saved 41 people trapped in an Indian mine collapse that inspired the world to believe that with determination and a sense of purpose anything is possible.

Follow the extraordinary life of Arnold Dix, a man whose resilience, curiosity and relentless pursuit of justice shows how you can make the impossible possible. In this gripping memoir, Dix recounts the inspirational tunnel rescue in India that made him a hero across the globe, highlighting the extraordinary challenges he faced, culminating in his vow to bring home the trapped men safely, reassuring their families with his promise: '41 men are coming home safe'.

But there's so much more to Arnold Dix.

From surviving an assassination attempt to the transformative experience of working in train tunnels beneath Ground Zero just a week after 9/11, Arnold's story is one of unwavering courage and unexpected twists. His obsession with learning led him to become a barrister, scientist and even had a brief stint as a hairdresser, while his compassion saw him secretly organise safe houses and a soup kitchen for migrant workers living in slave-like conditions in Qatar.

With themes of adventure, sacrifice, and selflessness, Arnold's story delves into the heart of what it means to push boundaries and challenge the status quo in the quest to making the impossible possible.
