Can anyone recommend any books about doing amazing feats of endurance? Any books that describe the physical and mental fortitude required to complete insanely taxing tasks that will ultimately result in deciding your future?
For example I'm thinking like a soldier that's had his leg broken, but his buddy is unconscious next to him, so he has to drag him for 8 miles to safety through no-man's land. That kind of thing, that just embodies the horror and pain that can be wrestled with by the human psyche and eventually prevailed over.

Any recommendations?

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

Its a bit entry-level tier but very good nonetheless, and kind of embodies what you're describing. The thing about their struggle is different than you're situation though. They in a war. They don't get to leave. They have to fight, or die. Ironic humor is surprisingly effective to deal with horror.
