Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Discover inspiring stories of heroism, adventure, endurance and survival from throughout history.
Captain Robert Falcon Scott didn't start out life as a hero. In fact, as a boy he was considered small, frail and shy. So what was it that turned this ordinary man into a legend?
Through his gripping account of how this modest naval officer became Scott of the Antarctic, Neil Oliver vividly relates the awe-inspiring tales of brave men that inspired Britain's greatest hero, including Nelson, Sir John Moore and the Demons of Camerone.
And alongside these epic stories of courage, fortitude and sacrifice, Oliver recounts how the spirit of Scott lives on - from Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 13 mission, to the SAS and the Battle of Mirbat.
Young and old alike will enjoy listening to these brave stories of men who understood - as Scott always did - that it was more important to die a hero than live a coward's life.

A Genuine Story Of Courage And Bravery
I initially chose this book as something to fall asleep to. I'm a huge fan of Neil Oliver and his soothing Scottish burr and thought this would be perfect. I was wrong. There was no way I could sleep listening about these courageous men who died for causes mostly forgotten today. At times I was moved to tears, but I stayed awake for every word. Listen to this book, you won't regret it.
