About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER.


Battle Scars tells the story of Jason Fox's career as an elite operator, from the gunfights, hostage rescues, daring escapes and heroic endeavours that defined his service, to a very different kind of battle that awaited him at home.
After more than two decades of active duty, Foxy was diagnosed with complex PTSD, forcing him to leave the military brotherhood and confront the hard reality of what follows. What happens when you become your own enemy? How do you keep on fighting when life itself no longer feels worth fighting for?
Unflinchingly honest, Battle Scars is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: a chronicle of operational bravery, and of superhuman courage on and off the battlefield.

'The most important book you'll ever read... Battle Scars will save lives.' TOM MARCUS, author of SOLDIER SPY

'A vivid, searing account of a life at war.' BEAR GRYLLS

'A must read.' ANT MIDDLETON, bestselling author of FIRST MAN IN.

Very monotone. Some people aren't great reading aloud. Amazing life and an incredible journey thus far. Can't wait to read his other book!

Highly recommended. I only listen to audiobooks when I go for my daily walk, to encourage myself to go for a walk. I've never been so eager for the next days walk & walking that bit further, just so I could listen to some more of this book & Jason Fox's second book. I enjoyed both so much, that I will be re-reading them in the very near future, as they are both well written & very insightful.

Brilliant book. First class. Well read by Jason himself. His account of his mental health, thoughts of suicide brought me to tears. The fact that the military "threw him out of the service" without a care, cut me. Our service men and women go through absolute hell to defend not only our country but the country they've been deployed to. Jason, you are an inspiration in your achievements and I take my hat off to you. Well done, and long may your work continue to help not only yourself but also those that find themselves in a similar situation.
