"Let me take you into my adrenaline-fueled world", TARGET founder Rüdiger Nehberg on his latest book:
there is no danger to courage
... "says an old Bedouin proverb and is symbolic of this incomparable thriller of my life. It tells of my curiosity about the world, of my willingness to take risks, of defeats and successes during my 85 years of life. How it changed when I became an eyewitness to the most serious human rights violations. Of my self-imposed obligation to take a stand against them and my adventures took on meaning. Silence would have degraded me, against my nature, to an accomplice. I was helped by my desire for 'crazy' strategies, my perseverance to the point of stubbornness, a Karl May-like creativity, my comprehensive knowledge of survival and ultimately that Bedouin dash of courage. Every trip gave me new aces up my sleeve. This wealth of survival knowledge, always paired with a dash of luck, accompanied me during the confrontation with war, escape, captivity and prison, the murder of my traveling companion Michaels or the years-long campaign against the impending genocide of the Yanomami Indians. My journeyman's test of sorts. I felt ready for the master's examination.
This was the fight against the monstrous crime of female genital mutilation. This book tells the story of what it is exactly, how I, now together with my wife Annette and my own association TARGET e. V., thought I would succeed in ending the drama for women after 5,000 years. These are stories that seem to have sprung from the Arabian Nights. They mock the zeitgeist and will help to revise prejudices and generalizations.
Let me take you into my adrenaline-fueled world.
The book is intended to entertain on the one hand and motivate on the other. It could be a template for your own adventure life.
Your Rüdiger, alias Sir Vival ®"
