Free for SMSA Members! $10 for Non-Members | Annual membership from $35

We’re thrilled to announce that Arnold Dix will be joining us at the SMSA to launch his powerful new book, The Promise.

As part of his press tour, he’s making high-profile appearances on The Today Show, The Morning Show, and ABC Radio—and we’re incredibly fortunate to welcome him here in person!

About ‘The Promise’

Arnold Dix rose to global prominence as the leader of the 400-hour rescue mission that saved 41 miners trapped in India’s collapsed Uttarkashi tunnel.

In The Promise, Arnold shares the gripping story of the operation that defined his life. Against impossible odds, he vowed, ‘Forty-one men are coming home alive,’ and kept that promise. With vivid detail, he takes readers inside the rescue that captured the world’s attention, showing how resilience and determination can achieve the unthinkable.

About The Author

Arnold Dix is an ordinary, if quirky, Aussie bloke who wears many hats: geologist, engineer, barrister, farmer, truck driver, and tunnelling expert. His expertise has saved lives worldwide, including during the Uttarkashi rescue in November 2023, where every miner was brought to safety.

A seasoned hero in disaster response, Arnold has lent his skills to pivotal rescue efforts, including 9/11 in New York, the London and Madrid bombings, and initiatives in Qatar to protect exploited World Cup workers.

Arnold’s story is a testament to courage, ingenuity, and an unwavering commitment to humanity.

Come along to the first event of 2025 and hear these extraordinary stories firsthand!

Our friends from Abbey’s will be onsite, giving you the perfect opportunity to grab a copy of The Promise and have it signed by Arnold himself!
