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 & what lessons their actions may have taught him in his own often hazardous profession. This book describes the extraordinary & often horrific events that led to these ordinary individuals becoming Ranulph's great heroes. From polar survivor to knifed-&-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.
