Ranulph Fiennes Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know

Produktbeskrivelse

'Always the leader and always the best' Bear Grylls 'Rip-roaringly readable.' Guardian 'Not an alien species after all but - as they say - a national treasure.' New Statesman 'Fiennes has so much to fit in, it's a wonder to grasp the full breadth of a lifetime of adventuring.' Compass Magazine 'Even readers with a broadly low tolerance for macho heroism will find themselves gripped . . . compelling' - Time Out Sir Ranulph Fiennes has travelled to the most dangerous and inaccessible places on Earth, almost died countless times, lost nearly half his fingers to frostbite, raised millions of pounds for charity and been awarded a polar medal and an OBE. He has been an elite soldier, an athlete, a mountaineer, an explorer, a bestselling author and nearly replaced Sean Connery as James Bond. In his bestselling autobiography, Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know , he describes how he led expeditions all over the world and became the first person to travel to both Poles on land. He tells of how he discovered the lost city of Ubar in Oman and attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the North Pole - the expedition that cost him several fingers, and very nearly his life.
