Mud, Sweat & Tears is a fascinating account of the life & adventures – so far! – of the remarkable Bear Grylls. The book sheds light on Grylls’ early development, from growing up on the Isle of Wight where he was taught by his father to sail & climb at an early age, to leading out-of-bounds night-climbing missions at school & then taking up mountaineering & martial arts as a teenager. These experiences led him to the foothills of the mighty Himalayas & then to a grandmaster`s karate training camp in Japan. Upon his return, he embarked on the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British Special Forces to join 21 SAS
- a journey which pushed him to the limits of physical & mental endurance. Then, in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident in Africa, Bear broke his back in three places. Astonishingly, only eighteen months after being told he might never walk again, Bear defied doctors` expectations, & at twenty-three, became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale Everest. But this was just the beginning… Known & admired by millions from his global TV series, books, & his work as Chief Scout to the Scouting Association, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Here, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his remarkable, action-packed life. Gripping, moving & wildly exhilarating, Mud, Sweat & Tears is a must-read for adrenalin junkies & armchair adventurers alike. Now who knows what he’ll do next?
