Description
Bear Grylls knows what a person must be able to do and know to survive in extreme conditions. However, he is not the first in history. Take, for example, American pilot Louis Zamperini, who survived 47 days at sea after his bomber crashed, feeding himself by catching hungry sharks and drinking the warm blood of albatrosses – only to then fall into the hands of the Japanese and endure horrific torment in their most brutal prisoner of war camps for several years... Or Marcus Luttrell, a member of the elite Navy SEAL unit, who single-handedly faced an entire Taliban battalion and then crawled for many days, bloodied and riddled with bullets, through the harsh Afghan mountains... Or Nando Parrado, one of the few people who survived a terrible plane crash high in the frozen Andes – he survived only by being able to eat the flesh of his dead companions... In his new book, Bear recounts the gripping stories of adventurers, explorers, soldiers, spies, and ordinary people who refused to give up even in the most desperate situations – stories that have inspired him throughout his life. Some will send chills down your spine, while others will give you goosebumps all over your body – survival has never been a walk in the park. All of them, however, are marked by touching...
