About this deal

Read the book in a day which says something in itself but if it's a look inside the life of modern day UKSF and in particular the SBS, you won't really find anything substantial about them here. Registered address: Unit 31, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom.

What a great insight in to the life of Ant Middleton and how he came to be the man he is, wow what a life he's led!The book differs from other special forces biographies in that its underlying story is a lesson of leadership. His struggle to fit in with them leads to his dreadful behaviour out in the town and now I can see exactly why the military had such a poor reputation amongst the civilian population. There was a show on years ago that I loved where ordinary people are put through a version of SAS training. It felt like all his stories were just about how great he is and not recognising the people around them for the parts they quite obviously played. I really like him Ant uses the mind sets he has learned to be a leader and lead others to discovering the same mindsets to lead them to sucess.

Ant’s been an outstanding soldier and is a devoted father and husband and I respect him greatly for that but this.

I have watched several series of SAS who dares wins on UK TV since I read this book and I would like to revise my opinion. This is not intended to be a full statement of all your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations. The thing with TV is, you always wonder what is actually the truth and what’s shown for entertainment value.Overall though I don’t really like him having listened to his account of his life, honest that it was, he’s actually a bit of a prick when it comes down to it. After 13 years service in the military, with 4 years as a Special Boat Service (SBS) sniper, Ant Middleton is the epitome of what it takes to excel. Born in Portsmouth and raised in rural France, Ant set his sights on a career in the armed forces and didn’t stop striving until he achieved his goal. Unfortunately, in Ant's case, he walks that line between good and outright nut-so, just erring on the side of good (he could easily go either way), but it makes him unlikeable for most readers. Full details of your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations are available in the UK from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or your Local Authority's Trading Standards Office.

as the stories themselves were interesting - it was just his constant putting down of other people for their failures whilst not recognising his own that was frustating. A good book for young men who are possibly going down the wrong path or those who have been and live with guilt. In prison, he was thrust into the unknown, cut off from friends and family, isolated with thoughts of failure and dread for his future. I can cut them a bit of slack and at least understand the issues they have when they no longer have that outlet for the aggression. But through sheer determination and by confronting life’s challenges, Ant Middleton has come to know the meaning of true leadership.I did find the last few chapters a little less interesting than the others which is why it only gets four stars. This book looks at various events in Ant's life, both personal and military, and what he tries to do is look at what happened with each event and the lessons he learned from it. A very honest and reflective read from someone who is not afraid to share his learnings in life, both failures and successes. His persona is much "nicer" on TV) In this book, he refers to himself as god-like, on occasion, and goes into detail about how he looks for weaknesses in people and uses them to get what he wants out of them. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills.
