Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Johnson Beharry VC. Born a world away, in an isolated village obn the Caribbean island of Grenada, Johnson forged his instincts for survival against a backdrop of ginding poverty. One of eight children, with a volatile, alcoholic fa…ther, he grew up in a tiny wooden shack, never knowing what challenges the next day would bring. To escape a life that was sliding out of control, he decided to enlist with the British Army. The driver of a Warrior armoured fighting vehicle, Johnson Beharry carried out two acts of outstanding heroism during a series of explosive operations in southern Iraq and, in doing so, saved the lives of thirty of his companions. He was just twenty-four years old. In the second action, a rocket-propelled grenade exploded six inches from his head, and yet he managed to reverse his vehicle out of the ambush zone before collapsing. Nobody thought he would survive. Against all odds, he emerged from his coma, was evacuated to the UK and endured a series of complex operations to remove shrapnel and bone shards from his brain. Then he began his most painful and remarkable journey of all - the journey to recovery. Frank, heartbreaking, but laced with Johnson's irrepressible humour, this book is an utterly compelling story of extraordinary courage that will inspire this and future generations. Illustrated. 367 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
