Picked this up from Amazon the other day. I have only watch one series of SAS: Who Dares Wins but knew roughly who he was. Its an interesting read. Certainly a bit of character. Turned into a bit of a tt but was able to get hold of himself and turn it around.

Some interesting stories about the army. Really interesting how he wanted to be in the paras so much but when he was in he realised they were just a bunch of drunken yobbos.

Finished it. Good read. The leadership bits as someone said about were a bit of a waste but I suppose he was trying to write something a bit different.

One of the most interesting chapters was not the military stuff but the filming of Bounty. Going to watch that series on all 4 now.

I made the mistake of googling some of the bits he talked about. Found out there is a civilian version of the Fandance and have entered that!
