About the author

Sir Ranulph Fiennes was the first man to reach both poles by surface travel and the first to cross the Antarctic Continent unsupported. In the 1960s he was removed from the SAS Regiment for misuse of explosives but, joining the army of the Sultan of Oman, received that country's Bravery Medal on active service in 1971. He is the only person yet to have been awarded two clasps to the Polar medal for both Antarctic and the Arctic regions. Fiennes has led over 30 expeditions including the first polar circumnavigation of the Earth, and in 2003 he ran seven marathons in seven days on seven continents in aid of the British Heart Foundation.In 1993 Her Majesty the Queen awarded Fiennes the Order of the British Empire (OBE) because, on the way to breaking records, he has raised over ?14 million for charity. He was named Best Sportsman in the 2007 ITV Great Briton Awards and in 2009 he became the oldest Briton to reach the summit of Everest.

Der Journalist Sebastian Junger, geboren 1962, ausgezeichnet mit dem National Magazine Award, veröffentlichte die Reportagensammlung "Feuer" und den Weltbestseller "Der Sturm", der mit George Clooney und Mark Wahlberg verfilmt wurde, bevor er mit "Tod in Belmont" abermals in die Top Ten der Bestsellerliste und in die Debatte um nationales Selbstverständnis in den USA vorstieß. Sein auf den in "War" beschriebenen Erlebnissen beruhender Dokumentarfilm "Restrepo" erhielt den Grand Jury Prize des renommierten Sundance Film Festival.
