The Bumper Book of Bravery by Charlie Norton
The Bumper Book of Bravery recounts tales of incredible courage the world over, from the mythical to the modern, and from New York to New Zealand: Take to the seas and marvel at the first voyage around the world. Dare to go deeper and discover record-setting underwater feats, as well as the French free-diver who refused to learn her limits. Stay on land with Samurai warriors, Roman emperor gladiators and Genghis Khan's lethal Mongolian army. Reach for the skies through balloonists, fantastic flying machines and female fighter pilots. Go underground with the ultimate masters of espionage, including Russian spies, honey-traps and ruthless CIA-trained Tibetan agents. From ocean depths to giddy heights and everything in between, The Bumper Book of Bravery will awaken the adventurer and hero inside of us all.
