- More about Freefall
Unique and inspiring memoir that unravels how the author descended into madness after attempting the world freefall record. A new edition for 2021 with updates from Tom Read's son, Jason.

Length: 368 pages

Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group
From his hospital bed in a French sanatorium, Tom began to review his life in an attempt to trace the roots of his madness: the tough childhood, moving from place to place; joining the Parachute Regiment at seventeen and confronting riots, IRA snipers, and booby-traps; doing more than 1,000 jumps with the Red Devils and the first ever Parachute drop onto the Falklands; and the high-altitude work that may have created a chemical imbalance in his brain.
Weaving backwards and forwards between a haunting present and a remarkable past, FREEFALL is an unrelentingly suspenseful account of an amazing life.
