Bear Grylls is a man who has always sought the ultimate in
adventure. Growing up on the Isle of Wight, he was taught by
his father to sail and climb at an early age. As a teenager
he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering
and martial arts, which led the young adventurer to the
foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a grandmaster's karate
training camp in Japan. On returning home, he embarked upon
the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British
Special Forces to join 21 SAS - a journey that was to push
him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance.
Then, in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident, Bear
broke his back in three places. It was touch and go whether
he would ever walk again. However, only eighteen months
later Bear became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale
Everest, aged only twenty-three. But this was just the
beginning of his many extraordinary adventures...Known and
admired by millions, Bear Grylls has survived where few
would dare to go. Now, for the first time, Bear tells the
story of his action-packed life. Gripping, moving and wildly
exhilarating, "Mud, Sweat and Tears" is a must-read for
adrenalin junkies and armchair adventurers alike.
