About this book
Eighteen years in the SAS saw ‘Soldier I’ survive the savage battle of Mirbat, parachute into the icy-depths of the South Atlantic at the height of the Falklands War, and assault the Iranian Embassy during the most famous hostage situation in the modern world. This is his story, written with a breath-taking take no-prisoners attitude, bringing each death-defying situation brilliantly to life. But his story doesn’t end with his departure from the army. For the first-time he details his close-protection work around the world, whether it is testing the security system at Windsor Castle or protecting businessmen in Basra as his roller-coaster journey through life continues.
