About this ebook
'Hard eyes stare out of massive beards, their faces marked by the scars of battle. With these guys their webbing looks like it belongs to them, rather than it's been hung on a pair of reluctant shoulders. There's not a word been said to us, but the ante has clearly been upped. There's a dark and sinister feeling in the air.
It doesn't take a genius to figure it's about to kick off.'
Former SAS soldier Big Phil Campion tells it like is in this brutally honest account of his insanely dangerous life as a private military operator. From playing chicken with a suicide bomber in backstreet Kabul, to taking on pirates with his bare hands, this is true-life action-packed drama at its best.

Big Phil is a character that just likes to get the job done. This book is mostly centred around his time doing security contracting in places like Iraq, were it gets a bit hairy at times. Reading through the book gives an impression that Big Phil certainly has a great sense of humour!

A brilliant read, abaut an amazing guy an his equally amazing life. Gives real insight into current conflicts around the world an the world of a special forces trained operator, an the sometimes brutally tuff origins that make them. Moving and compelling stuff.

This is an excellent, candid look into the secret world of high risk security contracting. It reads well and will make you laugh. It's a must read.
