Faf: Through Fire is far more than just a book about cricket. It is the story of a man who just happened to play cricket at the highest level.

At times brutally honest, this fascinating, introspective work provides a unique insight into the mind and heart of one of South Africa’s
most interesting and charismatic national captains. There is the public persona . . . the tattooed, fashion-conscious, mentally tough, immensely popular and yet, at times, misunderstood Du Plessis. And then there is the authentic Faf.

It took him years to connect with this side of himself but, when he did, it shaped his relationships with people and ultimately his captaincy of the Proteas. Du Plessis lays bare his growth from a youth with a questionable moral compass outside of cricket, to a leader known for his integrity, values, honesty and empathy for his teammates.

He reflects on how influential leaders such as Gary Kirsten, Stephen Fleming, Doc Moosajee, Graeme Smith, AB de Villiers, Owen Eastwood, Russell Domingo, Ottis Gibson, MS Dhoni helped mould him as a man who leads with grit, purpose and a love of people.

He also explores the destructive relationships, offering his perspective, in devastating detail, on his final years of international cricket. Neither the changing room nor the boardroom is off limits in this no-holds-barred critique.

Overseas purchase

I’m absolutely thrilled with the book. I bought this as a gift as it was only available as a digital copy in my country. Little apprehensive ordering as I’d never used this site before but I received the book in 2 days!! Amazing! Also, the recipient is thrilled and completely surprised that I was able to get a hold of this book. Definitely recommend and I will shop again

So much more than just another athlete's autobiography

First off: Reader's Warehouse did brilliantly delivering this (signed) book all the way to Germany. From order to first reading was only a week (though shipment could have been faster, had there been no carrier delay). Well done Reader's Warehouse!

Now to the book: Faf du Plessis has written a brilliant book in which he reflects on his career as a cricketer, primarily as a Proteas' player. He gives great insights into the goings on behind the scenes, tells of his experiences - good and bad - and takes the reader into the life of an elite athlete. Faf is honest and fair, and it is an absolute delight reading his work. I cannot get enough of it.
Though written by a cricketer, this book is not just for fans of the sport. In fact, if you are just looking for a fan-book, this is probably not it. Faf: Through Fire is so much more than an autobiography - it is a book about leadership and life. In sharing his immense learning and wisdom in this book, du Plessis has made a book suitable for anyone looking to learn for life. You don't need to know anything about cricket to enjoy and profit from this book.
Take a peek into the life of one of cricket's finest players and learn from him for your life. That is what Faf: Through Fire is all about.

I have enjoyed reading this book - I'm on my second read already and I'm a busy person. I have enjoyed and profited greatly from Faf's reflections and am inspired to take these insights into my personal, professional, and sporting life.
Congratulations, Faf, what a book!
