Thirty-seven year old Phil Ashby is a genuine hero. His autobiography Unscathed: Escape from Sierra Leone (published by Macmillan in May 2002) is currently being turned into a major feature film. The ex Royal Marine Commando was awarded the Queen’s Gallantry Medal and is now an international Mountain Guide.

To escape a desk job in London, he volunteered for a 6-month tour with the United Nations as a Peace Keeper in war-torn Sierra Leone (at the time the poorest country in the world). The mission was brought to a violent end when the rebels restarted the country’s civil war. They turned on the UN’s representatives, torturing and butchering them and taking over 500 hostages. Phil and three other Western soldiers found themselves cut off in a small compound in hostile territory, surrounded by rebels who taunted them by throwing the blood-stained uniforms of fellow UN workers over the walls. Phil recounts the incredible escape his team made through enemy territory with incredible humility and honesty. One not to miss!

“Superb talk - gripped from beginning to end"

Gartner’s UK

"Brilliant, fascinating, moving, witty, organised, frightening, memorable - where does one stop? You could certainly fill the Albert Hall many times over"
