Item description from seller

A Fine unmarked copy with Fine Dustjacket which is not price-clipped. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. SIGNED to title page with 'Bestest' with no dedication and dated 1 December 2000. 388 pages, 29 illustrations. Ex soldier Chris Moon missed the challenge of military life and applied to join the mine-clearance programme organised by the HALO Trust (Hazardous Areas Life Support Organisation). He was stationed first in Cambodia, where he and two other colleagues were kidnapped by the Khmer Rouge and faced execution but managed not only to negotiate himself out of his own execution but also that of his two colleagues. In 1995 he was blown up in a supposedly safe area of a minefield in remote Mozambique losing an arm and a leg. He survived initially because he treated himself. About fourteen hours after he was injured he arrived in South Africa where doctors said they'd never seen anyone live with such a small amount of blood. He recovered three or four times faster than was expected and after rehabilitating himself within a year after leaving hospital he ran the London Marathon, raised significant sums to help disabled people in the developing world and successfully completed a full time Masters Degree. Chris taught himself to run and is believed to be the world's first amputee ultra distance runner. In 1997 completed the gruelling Marathon De Sables. Since then he's run the world's toughest ultra marathons and most recently the Badwater Death Valley 135 mile Ultra, where the temperature averaged over 50 degrees Celsius. He did this and took 12 hours off his previous best time to complete it in 41 hours 51 minutes. L Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
