Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a legendary SAS soldier who participated in the battle of Mirbat and assaulted the Iranian Embassy to free the hostages held within. 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 make you one of us. And if you haven't, then it's been very nice knowing you. Eighteen 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.

Book excerpt: In the Army, men and women are trained to be physically fit, disciplined, and calm under pressure to handle the rigors of a soldier's regimented lifestyle. Training that should lend itself To The unforeseen demands of a combat zone. However, For one soldier in Iraq in 2004, nothing could have mentally prepared him for one dark flight over Iraq. It all started as a simple four-day vacation pass; a brief escape from the mental and physical demands of modern warfare and a chance to fly out of Iraq for some well deserved R&R. It was supposed to be the perfect chance to catch up on his personal time. This lone Army Captain would soon be tested like never before when the plane that he was being transported to his R&R destination in suddenly changed course. Although he found that his flight was rerouted to pick up human remains, he didn't yet see that his outlook on life was also about to alter course. The time he would spend in the back of a cargo plane with three flag-covered caskets would take him from being inconvenienced and angry, To honored and inspired. With his deep and insightful writing style, readers will experience the heartfelt gratitude, pride, and undying patriotism experienced by American soldiers that are bonded by war. This is not the typical 'shoot-em-up' warrior novel. On the contrary, it is far deeper than that!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Good Soldier contains the distilled wisdom of Field Marshal Wavell, collected from his numerous articles and speeches. “Practically all the articles collected here were written between the two Great Wars, between 1926 and 1938; a few were written during the late war. Nearly all have been previously published, in newspapers or military journals. Whether they are worth collection and republication I must leave readers to judge. Inoculation with the deadly virus of war does not seem to confer immunity on any people or on the world as a whole for more than a very limited period. There must still be soldiers, and I fear there will still be wars in spite of UNO and ATOM. So long as war has to be studied there may be something of value in these notes of one who has studied war for close on fifty years. That is my only excuse for re-enlisting these old soldiers of my pen. Some of them may be thought old-fashioned and out of date, with little more to tell the modern student of war than would a visit to the pensioners of Chelsea Hospital. But passing down their ranks and looking them over with, I admit, an indulgent eye, I still believe that there may be something in each of these veterans, or at least in some of them, to induce thought and perhaps to sow the germ of a fresh idea. If I can claim to any merit as a soldier, it is that I have always tried to keep my mind receptive to fresh ideas, and that I have striven to present these ideas in as simple and practical a form as possible—in battle dress rather than in review order. If these old soldiers of mine can in any way help a young soldier to learn his trade—the training and handling of men in circumstances of great complexity and difficulty—they will not have come back from the Reserve in vain.”—Author’s Preface, 1946
