Something of a pot boiler and a potted history of his extraordinary exploits to date (one expedition per chapter). There is a good summary of the lessons learnt on each trip at the end of each chapter. A good manual for those interested in acquiring leadership skills.
A masterpeice (9/9 people found this helpful)
What a fantastic book!
Well written and extremely exciting. The author writes about his amazing life with such ease and experience it sounds as if his incredible journeys are as normall as walking his dog!
I liked his points at the end of each chapter listing the things that he has learnt in that campaign.
Well written, a complete masterpeice; for absoloutly anyone who is interested in his incredible life!
Met the man, read the book! Wow! (30/30 people found this helpful)
I was lucky enough to attend a conference the other week where Sir Ranulph Finnes was the guest speaker. He spoke for an hour about his life and adventures, from the highs to the lows!! I was in awe of this mans achievements and it lead me to going out and purchasing his books....which I then read and got to learn more about Sir Ranulph. The journey he has taken and the challenges he has faced are an inspiration to anyone - I recommend you read his books & if you get the chance to see & listen to him....take it.

What can I say, This is a man who can think up and run seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. He lives on another level. The book can only hint at the drive and determination that this man has. An essential read for all those that have an "it can't be done" moment in their lives. I dare you!
just amazing... (11/11 people found this helpful)
I was given this book as a gift, which is now being passed around my friends (not because they are cheap, just because I think it is a waste for this book to sit on my shelf when others could be enjoying it). It has many photos that help you to imagine the experience and an incredibly interesting read... plus the fella who did this is just bloody amazing....how you can do so much one life has got me.
