No publicity, no media. We move in silently, do our job, and melt away
into the background. If you have the stamina, the willpower and the
guts, we'll welcome you with open arms and you're one of us. And if
you haven't, then it's been very nice knowing you.
18 years in
the SAS saw Pete Winner, codenamed 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 storm the Iranian Embassy during
the most famous hostage crisis in the modern world.
For the first time
Pete also details his close-protection work around the world, from the
lawless streets of Moscow to escorting aid convoys into war-torn Bosnia. He also unveils the problems of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder faced by
many Special Forces veterans, and how he battled his own demons to
continue his roller-coaster career.
This is his story, written with a
breathtaking take-no-prisoners attitude that brings each death-defying
episode vividly to life.
