The Feathermen
Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard Apr 2026 on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.
The general take
Sam thinks The Feathermen is a worthwhile read, praising it as a book by explorer Ranulph Fiennes about Special Forces guys who become vigilantes. He emphasizes that Fiennes himself is one of the greatest explorers of our time and notes that his autobiography is also worth reading separately. That's the only perspective shared about the book.
About
The story of a secret organization called "The Feathermen" and their 14-year attempt to trace the killers of a number of British ex-servicemen in Britain and abroad. Ranulph Fiennes has published eight books, two of which have been in "The Sunday Times" bestseller list.
Who said what
Sam👍 Recommends
…recommending book about Special Forces vigilantes
“And then the other one is The Feathermen. I don't know if you've heard of this one. No, what's that about? This is a book by a guy called Ranulph Fiennes. He's one of the greatest explorers of our time. British guy, absolutely so resilient. And it's worth reading books about him, his autobiography as a separate thing. But Feathermen, you'll love. Special Forces guys that become vigilantes in the UK.”
