Pete Mercer is a pair Walter Mitty. As a landing craftsman in the Royal Marines he drove boats for the SBS.Please stop buying this clowns books as he is a disgrace to former and serving Marines.

I actually served on this project and can catagorically say that this book is pure fantasy. I am certainly not Ex Special Forces. None of the Brits on this project were Special Forces. Pete Mercer was never ever Special Forces, however he did drive boats for them. The book itself I feel is complete disgrace to the memory of the 2 fallen comrades on the project. Mercer was on the project for 5 months. He was terminated due to the fact he was an alcoholic and had lost the respect of the Fijians that made up the majority of the project. I know this as I was his team leader and recommended his termination. He never served as a Team Leader and the one contact we had together he managed to shoot an innocent donkey. Once back into the safty of base he lept straight into the arms of a bottle and was not seen again for a day.

On the whole I generally enjoy military auto-biographies even though the market is flooded with them but no one begrudge these guys making the most of the opportunity to benefit from their experiences, our soldiers are generally under paid for the remarkable work they do. Having said that however, due to the smug and superior attitude of the author throughout the book I found myself rooting for the insurgents. Fortunately I only paid £2 for it off a market stall, still £2 more that it's worth!

Excellent book by a professional operator! The reader won’t be disappointed and worth a look if you want to do this kind of work
