'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.
