On 6 June 2004 Frank Gardner and cameraman Simon Cumbers were in a suburb of Riyadh filming a report on Al-Qaeda when they were confronted by Islamist gunmen. Simon was killed outright. Frank was brought down by shots in the shoulder and leg. As he lay bleeding in the street a figure stood over him and pumped four more bullets into him at point blank range...Against all the odds Frank Gardner survived and this is his remarkable account of the agonizing journey he has taken - from being shot and left for dead to where he is today partly paralysed but alive. It is a journey that really began 25 years earlier when a chance meeting with explorer Wilfred Thesiger inspired what would become a lifelong passion for the Arab world. This would take him throughout the Middle East and eventually lead to his becoming a BBC journalist. And in the wake of the events of 9/11 this passion sent him on the journey that came to dominate - and nearly end - his life: his coverage of Al-Qaeda. Honest moving and inspiring his story - now updated for this paperback edition - reveals a deep understanding of the Islamic world and offers a compelling analysis of the on-going 'War on Terror' and what it means in these uncertain times.
