Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know - The Autobiography

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is described as `the world's greatest living explorer' by the Guinness Book of Records, and his life story shows this is no exaggeration... He has travelled to the most dangerous places on earth, almost died many times, raised millions of pounds for charity and been awarded a polar medal and a knighthood. He describes how he led expeditions all over the world and became the first person to travel to both poles on land. He tells of how he discovered the lost city of Ubar in Oman and attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the North Pole - the expedition that cost him several fingers, and very nearly his life. Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes OBE, 3rd Baronet, looks back on a life lived at the very limits of human endeavour.
