My Heroes
The `World`s greatest living explorer` as described in the Guinness Book of Records, writes about the people who have inspired him, `from a London policeman hacked to death by a local mob to the bravest, boldest, parlour maid in the world`. Ranulph, or Ran as he likes to be called, gives lectures all over the world and the question he is asked more often than not is `who are your heroes?` In this book he describes the extraordinary and often horrific events that led to twelve ordinary people becoming his personal heroes. They include the man who dared all to execute Hitler, the community who suffered the agonies of the Black Death to save others, the victor of the Murder Wall, the Genocide Protector and the journalist who defied Mugabe`s Terror Police. These twelve highly descriptive chapters will make you both ashamed of human cruelty and proud of human courage.
