'Well told, personable, fast-paced, and undoubtedly a

fascinating read' Daily Telegraph

Gripping, moving and wildly exhilarating, Mud,

Sweat and Tears is a must-read for adrenalin junkies and armchair

adventurers alike.

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.
