In MY HEROES the worlds 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 youve 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 Ranulphs 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.
