Nine lives, nine escapes, and a thousand stories later... one man looks back with laughter, grit, and sharp insight.
From post-war Scotland to refugee camps in Asia and warzones in the Middle East,
Randalph Bland's
story is a breathtaking ride through
reckless youth
,
global misadventure
, and moments where
life and death
hung in the balance.
Told in vivid, often hilarious detail - with flashes of righteous fury - this
memoir
follows a restless outsider who finds himself in the thick of civil wars, humanitarian disasters, and raw street life from Glasgow to Kathmandu.
Whether he's dodging bullets in Beirut or dodging chores in a Scottish council house, Randalph's eye for
irony
, his taste for
trouble
, and his refusal to conform make this memoir unforgettable.
Perfect for readers who love:
True stories of chaotic, real-world adventure
Near-death experiences told with bite and humour
Outsider voices and anti-establishment memoirs
Bill Bryson with darker edges - or Anthony Bourdain with more scars
.
