More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The Falklands hero continues his bestselling inspirational story. Simon Weston was horrifically burnt in the Falklands conflict of 1982. He has since rebuilt his life to become a true hero for our times and he brings his astonishing story up to date in the pages of this new autobiography. Now happily married with three young children, he campaigns tirelessly for charities - he has jumped with the Red Devils and run the New York marathon - to create a better future for young people and veterans alike. But his road to recovery has certainly not been without its darker moments. This book sees him lay his Falklands ghosts to rest: in a final, moving return to the islands, he bids a last goodbye to the old self he left behind.

I watched the documentarys that Simon has done since the Falklands and knew that he had written books covering the time and awful things that happened to him and his comrades. Not until now have I had the opportunity to read this book along with his first one.
To relive those moments of horror and to be able to communicate it to the reader without bitterness is the mark of a true man.
'Weston Spirit' sums it up. Thank you Simon.
