Publisher's Synopsis
Life, Death and Survival in an Age of Global Terror On 6th June 2004, in a quiet suburb of Riyadh, BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner and cameraman Simon Cumbers were filming a report on Al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia when then were ambushed by Islamist gunmen. Simon was killed outright. Frank was shot and as he lay pleading for his life a figure pumped four more bullets into his body at point blank range. Against all odds he survived, and this is his remarkable account of his agonising, life-shattering journey from being left for dead in a dusty street to where he is today: partly paralysed, but alive.
