My Heroes: Extraordinary Courage, Exceptional People (häftad, eng)

In MY HEROES the ''world''s greatest living explorer'' (Guinness Book of Records), writes about the people who have inspired him - from explorers to policemen, families to freedom fighters.

Wherever in the world Ranulph gives one of his lectures or motivational speeches, someone always asks: ''Who inspired you to do all the crazy things you''ve done?'' For the first time he explores this idea by revealing his own personal heroes and what lessons their actions may have taught him in his own often hazardous profession.

This book describes the extraordinary and often horrific events that led to these ordinary individuals becoming Ranulph''s great heroesFrom polar survivor to knifed-and-beaten policeman, from a woman missionary to a special forces soldier, these wonderful people will make you proud to be part of the human race.
