From wild days in childhood, rebellion at school, the early death of his father and conflict with his stepfather, on to his exploits in the Army in Korea, Egypt, Malaysia, Oman, Borneo, the Sudan, the Falklands and, of course, the Gulf War, this book chronicles the life of a man for whom danger has been a way of life.
